Knee Pads!

[Monty]

After about two outings I found out what equipment I needed most besides my detector was knee pads! After getting my knees wet, muddy, bruised and sore I went to the local Lowes and bought a set of industrial knee pads. Man what a relief! That something so simple would be such a relief is unbelievable. I wonder how many novice detectorists like me had to learn the hard way? JIM

Well I have had them for years because I use to have a fencing company and always used them. They do save knees and makes it easier to move around if need be.

Yep, kneel down on a nail sometime or a piece of broken glass and you're done for a spell. They are invaluable tools.

I ruined a number of pairs of jeans until I bought a pair of big white, rubber kneepads (with rubber straps and a foam-rubber liner)from a home depot store. It was a last minute buy on my way to the airport to go to england. They were about 18 bucks , but worth every penny. They are very durable & even though the straps can be a bit too tight at times, they protect my knees very well. My detecting partner calls em stormtrooper kneepads (from the stormtrooper uniforms in the star wars movies). Sometimes i just wear one instead of both (just to use for when i get down on one knee).

A couple of outings and my knees were sore as anything. My next outing started out at Home Depot. The knee pads make a world of difference. They are a must have in you bag.

I find Knee Pads to be like a good woman. Sometimes you can't get along with them & sometimes you just can't get along without them! Spotz

When you are not out in the field, you can use them to cover your ears when the little lady is upset. Multipurpose equipment! Spotz
