Iron Bias
- Thread starter Architex
- Start date
This addition was on the updated gsg when I posted part 3 some time ago.Iron Bias from Minelab owners:
"It’s an extra control to fine-tune the detector to limit iron falsing. This type of falsing often happens if the iron targets are complex, like Hex screws and Roman hobnails.
If on the site you’re on you get false signals. Turn the setting up until it stops. Setting “1” is like most fast single frequency detectors with some iron falsing. A setting of “9” would make it CTX3030 stable with very little falsing.
Although it’s tempting to ramp this setting right up to “9”, it will reduce the recovery rate from detecting iron to a non-ferrous target.
So it’s best to use this control frugally.
I tend to keep the setting to “4” on Field 1 and slightly higher on Field 2."
