Looking for suggestions for a straight shaft for Excal

[rsc]

I hip/shoulder mount my Excal 1000. I am looking to replace the S shaft with a straight shaft> Any info is appreciated. HH Gayle

Gayle,

I purchased a straight shaft for my Excalibur II, but found that I couldn't pack the Excalibur with the long straight shaft into my car or motorhome.

I then tried the swingything harness using the standard shaft, and what a big difference that makes.

The swingythingy takes the weight off your arms, and spreads it over your shoulders, chest, and pants ( the swingythingy clips above your back pants pocket).

It makes the excalibur almost weightless, and it allows you to work hands free when digging up treasures.

I use the swingything with both my detectors now, and I can detect for much longer without getting tired.

I've used the straight shaft from http://www.rtgstore.com/lightningrod.htm and didn't like having to insert my arm into the arm cuff each time after retreiving a target. But it is longer than the standard shaft. Hipmounting is the only way to go for non diving hunting.

I made my own for my excals but got the Anderson for the LS PI (nice shaft)
