[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 475130, member: 4485"] You can buy a fibreglass upper here for $125 [url]https://www.goldcitydetecting.com/shafts.htm[/url] The cheapest lower shafts I've seen are the Coiltek composite (fibreglass) lower shafts 700mm are $30 & 800mm are $35. Standard Minelab lower shafts 600mm are $44. [url]https://www.reedsprospecting.com.au/shop/detail/coiltek-700mm-lower-shaft/[/url] [url]https://www.reedsprospecting.com.au/shop/detail/coiltek-800mm-lower-shaft/[/url] The above carbon fibre shaft package works out at close to ~$300 from the USA. Same set up in fibreglass here $245 - $265 + postage if required. I doubt the weight difference would be much if anything + never heard of fibreglass/composite shafts breaking in normal use so don't see a need for carbon fibre for strength. [/QUOTE]
