Those high heel Detecting Shoes in the pic, are they completely non metal?  

I think all the money you made on tips while wearing that skirt is probably what helped you buy a new Ford truck.  I know it's not your good detecting skills, I've witnessed that.

Hey Gerry, you better be nicer to Chef Rusty, or you’re going to be eating Top Ramen and Cheese Whiz at the next outing...

Well I said I’d post a picture of the cream that may help you. I didn’t look back but I may have spelled it wrong.

 Here is a picture.

Superglue

I’ve seen it used for cuts that probably really required sutures. Amazing stuff, and from what I understand, it was actually developed as a medical glue, but turned out to be good for nearly everything else aswell.

 

If you want it to harden quick and stronger than what it’s intended for, sprinkle bi-carb soda on it after the application.

Developped for battlefield application during the vietnam war. That's why it sticks your fingers together so well

To pull it back on topic, in fact a roll of leucotape and a small tube of glue covers most of your detecting first aid needs, and also doubles as your mechanical tool kit for detector repair

I've tried nearly everything mentioned above without success (except the heels or a Ford) after 35 years of weathering in cold/wet... I finally discovered zinc oxide ointment heals the cracking up in a couple days. Use diaper rash ointments also with 40% zinc - it's white colored so i put it in the cracking at night, absorbs gone in the morning and works wonderfully.
