Tdi sl on gold
April 11, 2018
Bought a TDI SL approximately six months ago, very dissapointed with stock
dual field coils, using Coilteck TDI series coil help me find gold from
0.026 grams to 1.04 grams thus far. Small gold(0.026) at approx 50mm, 1
gram at approx 100mm. Also using lithium batteries (3 x 18650's) gave me
12.6 volts, seemed to give clearer audio with earphones (150 ohms Nugget
Busters). In mineralised ground small gold setting is very quiet, some
falsing on hot clay pockets, other then that its good value for the price.
Great coin machine using high conductor mode.
Max Depth: 11 inches on US quarter

Works great! very light
January 30, 2017
I've owned a TDI Pro and now I have a TDI SL. Although it is true that the
TDI SL gets less depth than the TDI Pro I don't think it deserves such an
insulting review as a single star at all. The TDI SL is very very light and
the threshold is rock solid steady at the beaches that I detect. I am very
happy with how easy it is to swing this detector compared to my Minelab
E-Trac. I am able to detect all day without any arm discomfort! This thing
is super light and I love it.
I cant wait to take it to the gold fields and try it there. I was able to find smaller deep targets at beaches and they were deep too. I'm glad to finally be able to counter that one bad review for this metal detector on this forum..

TDI SL, where's the beef?
July 04, 2012
Folks,I have used all three models of the White's TDI and still have a couple of units. The SL works, but disappointingly nowhere near the depth of the other two models. Have have both the 7 and 12 dual field coils. The 7 inch was just plain sad on this detector, many of my VLF detectors are more responsive.
Do not get me wrong, I use and have many White's fine machines, but this one needs much more to be a winner in my book.
