You can go down to the Salvation Army, look at that barrel full of the extendable walking canes with the same button snaps inside....Heck or just go visit somebody at a Nursing home and help yourself to a spare cane!
Whites or Garrett. Or just drill straight through and use a nylon nut and bolt.
The ones in canes are not stainless steel and will last a few weeks in salt water environment
Nylon wing nut and bolt. Just take it out when you want to collapse the shaft... or find a spring clip somewhere. Whites/Garrett is a buck plus shipping last time I checked
If you are still looking, let me know. I build detector shafts, including lower rods for the Equinox, and thus I have the spring clips you need (stainless steel). I'd be glad to send you one!

Steve, thanks for the offer. I received my tent pins and actually are better then the old pin. It sticks out 1/16 inch further then the old. I am not sure if it stainless steel though. I will be upgrading to a carbon fiber rod in the near future.
