I used a radar device to get rid of mine. They ruined the lawn though.

Yes, definitely. Im 51 and have noticed more, including two medium sized ones in my hairline either side of my face 🤨

I too was imagining middle-aged moles! How cute that would be.

Are they defintely moles? Apparently getting dark brown warts is normal-I'm over 40 now, and saw a doctor about a mole I though was getting very big, and it turned out it was a wart-very common and the NHS advises leaving them alone. More likely for me due to my skin, but she said white women still do get them (I'm obviously not asking anyone to say their skin colour, but she said for mixed race people like me, it's even more common to get these things that are like a velvety brown patch at skin folds, and I have a few, can't remember the exact name of them but you can google if you want).

Seborrheic keratoses aka "senile warts". Charming name 😂 I have a couple. They can be a bit itchy so I had them checked out on two week wait and told it was these not moles...
