Features

Everything you need to find, hunt and remember old ground.

Old maps lined up with LiDAR and satellite, your permissions and finds in one place, and a community of detectorists. It all works without signal.

The map

Satellite, topo, streets and bare-earth LiDAR, with your old map on top. Four ways to compare them: Overlay, Swipe, Split and Drive.

How it works ›

Old maps

Import a scan of a plat map, county atlas or old topo and line it up with today’s map by matching a few landmarks. It then sits right on top, with your position on it.

How it works ›

Pins and finds

Mark finds, old houses, LiDAR features and permissions exactly where they are. Finds keep photos, depth, signal and detector, and the app can walk you back to any pin.

How it works ›

Sites and visits

Outline each field, yard or park you hunt. Finds inside belong to it automatically, and every trip is a visit with your time, your path and what you found.

How it works ›

Permissions

Get permission in writing: the landowner signs a simple slip on your phone and gets a PDF copy. Keep their number and a log of your calls, get warned before it runs out, and send them a report of your finds.

How it works ›

Finds, pins and tracks

Every find in one place, grouped by site, with quick filters for silver, gold, coins and your best finds. Export everything as GPX.

How it works ›

Community

Share your best finds and favourite detecting videos, upvote and comment. Anyone can read it on the website; posting is in the app. Your locations are never shared.
