Remember I am new at the Explorer. Now exactly what is Iron Mask? And what does it do? What are the best settings for it.

After you turn on the Explorer, push the iron mask button. You will see a square box with darkness on the left side and clear on the right. Any targets that fall on the dark side will NOT be heard any falling on the clear side WILL be heard.
Therefore The Darkside of Iron Mask is the discrimination side. Now note a bar below the bottum of the screen. by pressing the adjacent button, you can increase/decrease the amount of dark side (Discrimination) For beginners run at the factory setting of six or if you are really brave run it at ten and dig ALL REPEATABLE signals until you get use to the tones and positions of the bullseye.
Good Luck and email me if you or ask on these forums if you have any more questions.

Iron mask is just a discrimination setting for iron, Most machines at the lowest disc settings still disc out iron..
with the explorer in iron mask you can choose to select the amount of iron you accept, all the way to the point of running all metal.. only your still getting visual and audio ID..
the advantage is the less iron mask you use the easier it is for the explorer to see good items in iron.. so as a general rule the more iron in the area, the less iron mask you should use.. which when you think about it, why not use low iron mask all the time <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="
"> if theres no iron it wont bother you anyway..
I almost always am running iron mask -15.. it still knocks out most nails, but still allows to pick off stuff that might be hiden by too much masking.. either by higher iron mask settings or a disc pattern itself
