I feel your pain I just turned 49 yesterday. It has been one of the biggest challenges of my life. I have been looking for about a year. I believe I am going to be offered a job next week. I have already been through 3 interviews, and the company has already flown me to their headquarters and I meet with the company owners next week. Just keep plugging away and try to make your cover letter somewhat unconventional so it will get noticed.
You will get people that just lie to your face and they will and think nothing about it. What ever happened to integrity in the job recruiter field. About 95% of the recruiters I dealt with were dirtbags.

Be optimistic and creative for your future. Now you get chance to control your life by choosing a path. You should be more mature and more wise than you ever before. Read some good personal growth book will be really good for your interviews and your future. Such as Dale's How to win friend and influence people. Be nice to people and to yourself. Make good connections. You come to Yahoo answer shows you are smarter and more skillfully than most people. My father found his first really job in U.S. at age 60 to pursue his career as a chemical engineer. He is 70 now and he is still working. He started to learn English at age 50. Your potential is unlimited. Try to challenge yourself. You will be amazed about yourself. Your life should be fabulous no matter what. You should live your fullest.

I guess you can only go on doing what you've been doing. You'll turn up trumps in due course. In the meantime use your spare time to enjoy God's creation in the countryside - birds, flowers, beautiful scenery - things you may have been too busy to enjoy before.
