With the stock coil on an ocean beach I get coins to about 12". Thats a weak softer signal that is still repeatable but not as high sounding as it should be.

If you are new to it you may only get 5-6 inches and as I tell many you will get more depth as you get to know the Sovereign better. Going slow is where you will see more depth as the Sovereign has time to react and see the targets. When you know a area is real old and coins are real deep you have to go even slower as I found out in a few older parks. I have dug coins as deep as 12-13 inches in well worked parks going very very slow and listening very close to the threshold change and working that signal with the Sovereign wiggle trying to get the tones and meter reading trying to climb. This is why I like to detect well worked parks as all the surface coins are gone and I don't have to listen to all those loud blast and concentrate on the weak and deep ones.
Going too fast is where most lose their depth as you can not go too slow with the Sovereign, but going too fast is very easy to do.

Rick, as always has great information about the Sovereigns.I find it difficult to slow down but when I do the Sovereign will go deep and find the coins others have missed.I have found a lot of old coins in the last couple of seasons by taking Rick's advice and searching these old worked out parks.
