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! ::g ::g ::g
For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought!

I have a Whites DFX as my back up and beach md, it is very good on both ::g
Set up with the right program, you can go from dry to wet beach (and back again) without stopping or changing :D ::g
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)
