THIN COINS mode on the Garrett Vortex VX9 is a specialized detection mode optimized for low-conductivity finds like hammered silvers, cut quarters, and tiny ancient gold coins, which read poorly on most coin-mode presets. It features faster recovery speed, enhanced response on a select target ID range, and reduced target response for common ferrous items and high-tone targets. We run THIN COINS the moment we start pulling small cut silver at old parks, since it favors the low-conductivity end of the scale that standard coin programs tend to miss. THIN COINS mode is a VX9 feature.
