Minelab Excalibur Complete Carbon-Fiber Shaft System

Price: $149 + shipping (black), $169 + shipping (green/black)
How to order ↓

Our complete shaft for the Minelab Excalibur is a "Florida-style" shaft -- i.e. a 2-piece shaft, but with a third, removable, 12" extension piece beyond the arm cuff that permits attachment of the control pod and battery pod (with mounting holes included). The 35 1/2" upper shaft does not include an arm cuff, or a handle, but these can be included at additional cost. The shaft also includes a standard-length (26") lower rod, which attaches to the upper shaft via one one of our heavy duty, adjustable, removable clamping cam locks.

Additional lower rods can be purchased with any complete shaft, at a special add-on price of $60 (black)/$65 (green/black).

Custom-length lower rods can also be substituted for the standard-length lower rod, upon customer request, for an additional $5.

Custom three-piece shafts are also available for easier travel (this would include a shorter upper shaft, plus a middle shaft section, instead of the single, longer 35 1/2" upper section). This customized option adds $20.

A Minelab-style Excalibur/Sovereign handle can be included for $25.

A Steve's Detector Rods carbon-fiber arm cuff can be included for $65.

A "complete shaft package" is also available, that includes the shaft, plus Minelab-style handle and "Steve's" carbon-fiber arm cuff for $225 plus $20 U.S. shipping (black), or $240 plus $20 U.S. shipping (green/black) -- the package ships in a larger box than the shaft alone, so shipping is $4 more than the $16 for the "shaft only," shown below.
