Dom,

"when you scan the wall at the right locations"

Easier said than done ... "at the right locations".

The infrared camera will tell you those right locations, then, if you want to scan for steel, do so.

Trying to scan the entire wall to find them - not so easy and quite time consuming (yeah, there should be one on each side of each opening, but that's not only where they are, scanning those only gives a false sense of right).
