I didn't wear knee pads either, when I started, until I realized that all my jeans had a hole in one or both knees.

I ended up with a lot of "Cut off" jean shorts.

Knee pads on both knees for me for sure. Gotta keep the hidden rocks from digging in ya know, Beale.

I'm under 50. (almost 31 to be exact) I'm brand new to md'ing, I've only been on 1 hunt. But on that hunt a knelt and dug, knelt and dug, knelt and dug. (wow, what a nice rusty nail!)

All of the above. Also I'll lay down on my side sometimes and dig. LOL. 54 years young.

I kneel, cut, and dig. That is, I often wear knee pads, kneel down (being left-handed, I'm on my right knee most), use my drywall saw to cut a plug around the target, then pop the plug out with a solid cast-aluminum gardning hand-spade. Works for me. I dump my dirt on a piece of a rubber pond liner that I always cary with me. Keeping the knee pads in the truck along with another pair of shoes means that if I get sick of work and need a break, I can cut out for a while and not damage my pants! The ground is hard on pants, and out here, we've got those darn goat's head thistles and lots o' cactus. Oh, I also wear gloves which saves on the hands. And, I'm "under 50" at 41.9+.
