Soveriegn elite m8, only downside to them are weight and they struggle in iron infested fields, I have used mine on farmland since I started detecting 14 months ago and I have found roman, hammy's, silver, gold and a lovely medieval seal.
Now on the beach the elite is a beast, If money was no problem I would say buy the 3030 or if you intend to do mostly pasture and some beaches then get the etrac but as a back up machine for farmland but a legend on the beach get the elite!

I have a Whites DFX as my back up and beach md, it is very good on both 
Set up with the right program, you can go from dry to wet beach (and back again) without stopping or changing
Tried the Deus on the beach and I feel the DFX is better.
(I only used it with the programs in the machine,I probably needed to alter it a bit)
