Do you use knee pads ?
Only if I get into a stretch where I have detected numerous times in a row without a recoup time for the knees
Nope. The discomfort of the elastic is more than the comfort of padded knees. But I do use an oversized dirt towel, and usually put a knee on there to avoid grass stains.
never have used them.
I always use them- it helps keep the grass stains off the 'ol bluejeans...
Oh wait, people pay GOOD money for them grass stains now-a-days lol rofl
I've tried several kind and my fave now are made of a hard styrofoam material. Really good for the rainy/snowy days.
I use one only. On my left knee.
on left knee only if wearing long pants. Don't try it wearing shorts. I did and I all of a sudden noticed I was bleeding from the strapes rubbing on my :stretcher: skin.
Most of the time and never in sand .
Who worries about grass stains...
Head to the thrift shop... but 3-4 pair of blue jeans a just a little big so they are comfy and beat em up... I never pay more than a few bucks a pair... and I never wear knee pads...

I have carpenter knees,, so,, I wear them almost all the time. I have some really nice leather ones with padding inside,,,,very comfortable thumbsup01
I said sometimes, but it's really rarely lol I can't find a comfortable pair that doesn't bind or slip off. So I just sacrifice the old jeans. But a couple of times kneeling on small rocks and the old knees tell me OUCH :stretcher:
I use a small folded towel if the ground is wet, all the other times I just get dirty :beerbuddy:
I use them now and them and when i dont i wonder why i didnt , my knees are bad , too much carpentry work in the past ,
Haven't yet....Some day maybe....
I use them all the time. I have an arthritic hip and need to use a walking stick to help getting back up so the knee pads allow me to turn into the right position so my good leg can get me up.
I never use them unless the ground is real wet basically to keep the wet out. I seldom wear them in regular grass that's not too wet but when I'm around an old foundation in the woods I'll use them cause of the glass and stuff.
I dont use them but I should now. Gained some wait over hibernation.
I don't use any, its just one more thing to slow me down(putting them on) when I get there to detect.
knees shot, after 3 knee surgeries i still need knee replacement, i use a 5 gal. ice fishing bucket to sit and dig, also works good to put picked up and dug trash into.
