my plastic bolt that holds my coil on for my minelab detector fell out of my slightly unzipped tramping pack to my fustration

Any one got a source to get one from locally?

still have the plastic wingnut and spacer surprisingly as they would be much easier to fall out one would think...

First place I would check is the toilet seat hardware section of your local plumbing supplies store. Just in case.

If there's something there suitable I imagine it will be a lot cheaper than Minelab :)

Hi there, Order one or several from a detector supplier in Aussie & you are sorted.

Or if you have a mate with a metal lathe, he could probably turn one up from a bit of nylon rod in pretty short order?

I have plastic bolts and nuts that fit Fisher detectors if you think it would fit your Minelab.

$7 should cover it, you can find the bank details here: http://www.puiakisupply.co.nz/

But I won't be able to send it for a week or so (out of town). If you want one be sure and send me you address.
