Knee Pads

[fsa46]

Do you use knee pads ?

[cnr_dogs]

Only if I get into a stretch where I have detected numerous times in a row without a recoup time for the knees

[Indy!]

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.

[JTGOLD]

never have used them.

[tanacat]

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.

[RaZR]

I use one only. On my left knee.

[greg]

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 skin.

[Cheap Thrills]

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

[coinnut]

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

[mike l]

I use a small folded towel if the ground is wet, all the other times I just get dirty

[dave in iowa]

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 ,

[exsquid]

Haven't yet....Some day maybe....

[Bell-Two]

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.

[giant056]

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.

[bountyhunter]

I dont use them but I should now. Gained some wait over hibernation.

[wingmaster]

I don't use any, its just one more thing to slow me down(putting them on) when I get there to detect.

[marinedad]

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.

[tanacat]

Actually I wear them/it (right knee only) TO look cool lol
