yes ive used mine several times at the beach and i kinda prefer it to the 10 inch coil...it is a bit heavy but i hip mount the control box and that helps alot.... its a great advantage to use it on beaches where targets are few and far between as it gets better depth in my opinion..... US dimes and pennies ive found about 15 inches deep.... pocket knives at 2 feet deep.... pinpointing is a little tricky though..... if your beach isnt too trashy the wot is a great choice.... i hunt with disc at lowest level,iron mask on,volume just about full,threshold barely audible,sensetivity somewhere between 12 and 9 o-clock as conditions permit...... i hope you have a good beach scoop..your gonna need it...

bootyhound is pretty accurate. I would add that it helps to be familiar with the standard 8" or 10" coil. Because once you go to the WOT, the extra depth and coverage comes with a few drawbacks: very fishy to use, harder to pinpoint and just generally kinda "squirrely". Not a problem on the wide open beach, but would be difficult in trashy land sites. So as long as you're already very familiar with the regular coils on the Sov (the nuances of the tones, sounds, swing speed, target responses, etc...) then you can move up to the WOT with a little more ease.

For the persons who've taken the time to get used to it, I've seen some amazing depths. 15" on a penny, etc.... if you've got an area that will allow you to use it.
