Built for the hobby

Everything a detectorist
actually needs.

AI Find Identification

Show your dig to AI. Know what it is.

Claude's vision model — the same one that runs in the app — calls out the era, denomination, and confidence. Hand-forged nail or square nail? Indian Head or Wheat? It will tell you.

Hunt sessions

Track every dig like a workout.

Start a hunt when you walk into the field. Every find you log auto-attaches. End the hunt to see duration, finds, and your monthly streak — Apple Fitness for detectorists.

Map of your finds

Every recovery, pinned on a map.

Coins on one filter, relics on another. Tap a pin to see the find. Spots you've productive show up where you produced. Private by default — fuzzed to a 1-mile radius if you share.

Achievements

Earn brass for every milestone.

28 hand-designed medallions across find counts, hunt counts, categories, and monthly streaks. Earn them by playing — they unlock automatically the moment you qualify.
