Need a new extension shaft

[DMN]

Last fall I was smart enough to back over the extension shaft of my x-Terra 70. Fortunately I missed the box and the coil. Thank God for duct tape but I really do need a new shaft. Does anyone here know if they sell replacements because I haven't seen any online. Thanks for all the help!

By the way, additional thanks to GoesForEver who set me straight on the better use of my detector. Not getting everything but on the other hand I changed my habits and am finding more. He knows what he is talking about! I think an upgrade to a 10.5 inch DD coil is going to work better at the places I go detecting. I need the extra depth considering some of the area has been forested for a few hundred years and the debris makes it tough to go beyond 5-6 inches.

Have you tried to contact Minelab?

I hadn't contacted Minelab because I thought there may have been a retail alternative, hopefully near me. I will give them a shot. Thank you for the reply.

I just thought about which part of the shaft you broke. Maybe a straight shaft is needed if the lower rod is ok.

Luckily it was the lower shaft that broke. That part looks like it can be swapped easily. At least I hope so!
