XP Deus Metal Detector Lower Shaft / Pole

The XP Deus Metal Detector Lower Shaft is compatible with the standard telescopic stems of the XP Deus and XP ORX metal detectors. It works with standard XP Deus and ORX search coils, including X35 and HF coil models. The shaft slides into your existing middle shaft assembly and locks securely with your coil-mounting hardware (bolt, nut, and washers). If you're unsure if your detector uses the standard telescopic stem, check your detector's manual or contact our team for confirmation.

Yes, keeping a spare lower shaft for each of your backup coils is a favorite strategy among detectorists who run multiple search coils. By leaving each coil attached to its own lower shaft, you can swap coils in seconds without unbolting and re-bolting hardware in the middle of a hunt. When you transition from open ground to a trashy park or from dry sand to wet sand, you simply pull the existing lower shaft from your middle shaft assembly and slide in the shaft with your alternate coil already mounted. If you're setting up a quick-change secondary coil, grab a fresh set of coil mounting hardware so each coil stays ready on its own shaft.

Replace it with this genuine XP OEM lower shaft to restore your detector's original fit, flex, and weight balance. Bent or cracked lower poles are common field damage from years of hunting in thick brush, rocky soil, or underwater obstacles. A damaged lower shaft can throw off your swing balance and make coil-mounting hardware difficult to secure. This replacement shaft slides seamlessly into your existing middle shaft assembly and locks into place with your current coil-mounting bolt, nut, and washers. If your hardware is also worn or missing, order a fresh set of coil mounting hardware at the same time.

No, this lower shaft does not include the coil-mounting bolt, nut, and washers. It's designed to work with your existing coil-mounting hardware from your current setup. If you're buying this shaft to set up a quick-change secondary coil or if your current hardware is worn or missing, you'll need to order a separate set of coil mounting hardware so each coil stays ready on its own shaft. Our metal detector parts & accessories section carries the full range of XP replacement hardware.

This is a genuine XP OEM replacement part, not an aftermarket alternative. Genuine XP parts guarantee the exact fit, flex, and weight balance as the original shaft that came with your machine, eliminating compatibility guesswork and ensuring your detector's swing characteristics remain unchanged. Aftermarket lower shafts may save a few dollars upfront, but they often introduce fit issues, weight imbalances, or flex inconsistencies that affect your hunting performance. We stock only genuine XP parts to ensure our customers get the same quality and reliability XP builds into every Deus and ORX detector.

Installation is straightforward: slide the lower shaft into your existing middle shaft assembly until it seats fully, then lock it in place with your coil-mounting hardware (bolt, nut, and washers). The shaft is designed to slide seamlessly into the standard telescopic stem, so no special tools or modifications are required. If you're swapping coils frequently, leave each coil attached to its own lower shaft so you can pull one shaft out and slide the next one in without handling bolts in the field. The connection should feel secure once the hardware is tightened, if the shaft feels loose or wobbles, check that the bolt is fully seated and the washers are in place.
