I see you have a sovereign with the Wot coil. In my opinion :laughing7:

Chest mount that sovereign, stay in the shallow water and you'll triple those good finds. The Sovereign with the Wot coil is a killer beach combo. It will run circles around that Tesoro water machine. My sand shark went to my garage wall when I got my sovereign and wot coil. I kid you not your jewelry finds will go through the roof.

Looks like you had fun and nice video! :thumbsup:

Thank you.

There's no argument that the SOV GT and WOT coil are very effective on the beach. I bought the Minelab when my Tesoro was in the shop a few years back. Like you said, my jewelry finds increased with it. Here in Central Florida, the heat and humidity is pretty brutal this time of year. I prefer to hunt waist to chest deep water to stay cool. I have used my SOV in shallower water in the cooler months. For me, swinging the WOT coil through water is pretty tiring. I know there are some that do it fairly easily, but I'm not one of them.

I hear you about swinging the WOT coil, it's a beast. It would be worth while to pickup a smaller coil for it. I also used a Sunray 12.5" coil on it too (very light coil and more sensitive than the WOT). I haven't kept up with after market coils for the Sovereigns so their could be something better out there too :dontknow:

At the very least the stock coil works great too. Just a thought for you. One of these days I'm going to get out to Florida and give your beaches a go :laughing7:
