For Thers who have trouble with their knees.

For Th'ers who have trouble with their knees.

I've given up on TH'ing on land and wet sand beaches due to a leg disability. In parks or tree lawns, I'd get a signal and have a hard time getting down and even a harder time getting back up because of a lower leg disability. Even walking down a Wet sand beach, I'm good for about 30 minutes and then I need to sit down and a bench is up by the sea wall many yards away. I think I have found the solution to my problem called a Garden Kneeler. I changed the wording from their description to fit the detecting crowd.

For Seniors Citizens who can't kneel to recover their finds
Metal detecting will be a whole lot easier with a Gardener's Supply Garden Kneeler. You can use your arm strength to lower yourself for recovering a find, and then push yourself up again without straining knees or back. Flip the kneeler over and it becomes a convenient bench when you are in need of a rest. Frame is rugged and sturdy with locking legs, and folds flat for storage. Weighs just 8 pounds, so it's easy to carry. They retail for $40.

I plan to order one and experiment in different settings. Never give up, Never Surrender! They are available at Walmart too.

Good on ya, FLauthor! Whatever you can do to get out and get diggin' is a good thing!

I'm a senior citizen - a young one - but I can feel the pains these days. Its more comfortable and faster for me to simply bend at the waist and dig that way, clamdigger-style. It saves my knees and makes my back feel a little better because everything gets stretched out. If you can do this, I highly recommend it. No kneepads necessary, or anything else to tote around with you.

Interesting, thanks for posting! I can see great benefits from this, detecting, and gardening - of which both remain my primary interests.
