The Minelab Middle Shaft Assembly is a factory replacement part for the X-TERRA 705 and X-TERRA 705 Gold Pack metal detectors. When the original shaft is damaged or broken, this black middle shaft restores the detector to full field-ready condition with the same 3/4-inch diameter upper and lower ends as the stock assembly. X-TERRA 705 owners who hunt rocky terrain or transport their detector frequently benefit from keeping a spare shaft on hand, and this assembly fits both the standard 705 and the Gold Pack variant without modification.
Factory-Spec Fit for X-TERRA 705 and 705 Gold Pack
- Direct Minelab replacement: manufactured to the same specifications as the original shaft that ships with the X-TERRA 705, so the upper and lower connections seat without play or binding.
- Compatible with both models: fits the standard X-TERRA 705 and the X-TERRA 705 Gold Pack, making it a universal spare for detectorists who own either variant.
- 3/4-inch diameter ends: the lower end measures 3/4-inch outer diameter and the upper end measures 3/4-inch inner diameter, matching the factory stem geometry for secure lockup with the control box and lower rod.
- Black finish: matches the standard X-TERRA 705 shaft color, maintaining the detector's original appearance after the replacement.
Durable Construction for Field Use
The middle shaft holds the detector's geometry under swing stress. X-TERRA 705 owners who hunt in areas with heavy ground cover or rocky outcrops appreciate having a replacement shaft available, and the factory tolerances ensure the coil cable routes cleanly through the shaft without snagging. Detectorists who travel to hunt sites by ATV or truck benefit from having a spare shaft in the vehicle.
