And good work on the nuggets too. Any size? Any pics? Hi Northeast, i don't want to push my luck, the 19" might be just too much to ask of the knee, so it might very well be for sale. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outback54 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Mike I tried what you suggested, and had no issues. Due to the new knee/ leg still being very stiff and a little tender I don't kneel on the ground, I remove the Bungee cord and lay the coil on the ground, than bend the old back and check the hand full of dirt that way. I had the toe of my boot touching the coil and no problem while bending over. Plus I'm only a short person and still no issues. Hope this helps?

MikeT Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Thanks Outback. That helps allot!, I'm short myself now about 5' 5 1/2". The information you provided solves one of the issues about knee replacement that had me concerned. I'll need to have both knees replaced so once complete I won't have an original to place near the coil. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBCAT Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I am 83 and had both knees replaced. One at 75 and the other at 78. Was driving at 7 days for each and the only thing I can recommend is do not put it off because the sooner you do it the better you will feel. I still climb mountains and have no problems with my knees. I use an Infinium, GMT and pinpointer with no detecting problems. You must use knee pads to do any nealing, that is the only problem I have. The sooner you get rid of that pain and misery the better off you will be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
