The White's TDI SL metal detector was introduced in 2011 and was still in production when White’s closed up shop in 2020. It is a pulse induction (PI) metal detector aimed primarily at relics, gold prospecting, and beach detecting.
"The TDI SL provide serious detectorists with affordable pulse power. Initially developed to meet the demands of gold prospectors searching for extremely small and deep nuggets, the TDI has evolved into a detector that has proven itself as an effective detector for relic hunting, beach hunting and, under the right conditions, even coin hunting. Many of the surface relics and nuggets have been found out there, leaving a layer of even more valuable treasures that other detectors couldn’t reach. That’s where the TDI’s pulse technology comes in. This is one deep-seeking unit - especially in the harsh grounds - where other detectors just can’t compete." Source: White's 2018 catalog
