James, welcome to Tnet. You will get a lot of help here if you want it.

The Sov GT is a fantastic land unit and shoreline in the wet saltwater sand. Others have made boxes for them but I don't think you need that unless you are going in the water. For that you should get a Excal, the waterproof one. Actually a waterproof GT would be better than a Excal for lots of reasons.

I like using the Black Widow's where you'd have a lot of outside noise like at a beach with the surf and kids yelling. Good Quality phones are expensive but give you the best tone and pitch. http://www.detectorpro.com/headphones.htm
For beach use a WOT coil is HOT for depth of a PI but with disc. You are also going to need a good scoop if you are going to continue to beach hunt.

Get an etrac instead. The sovereign GT is driven MAD by the harsh soils in the Pac NW. I live in Oregon and wish I had invested in an Etrac instead. My Sov GT is for sale if interested!
