## What is Orecast?

There is more under your feet than you think. Gold that nobody ever dug up. Minerals, fossils, forgotten mine shafts from the old days. orecast shows you where. Tap a spot on the map and the app tells you which treasures are likely sitting in the ground there.

Sure, nobody can guarantee you the big find. But orecast does not guess. It reads real geological data and tells you honestly how good your odds are. Where gold is realistic, you see it. Where it is not, the app will not lie to you.

Here is how you go treasure hunting:
Open the map, let GPS find you or lock onto a far off region. Tap the spot, open the profile. Set the radius from five to fifty kilometers and see what is sitting in the ground all around you.

Four layers sit over the map. Minerals and ores shine in gold, caves and old mines glow blue and rust, fossils in green, historical sites in purple. One tap and you hide whatever does not grab you right now.

Want the full story? Ask orecast straight out what you would find at a spot. The answer comes back in plain words, no wall of data, just a clear call.

Made for everyone with a bit of gold fever in their blood. For treasure hunters, rock collectors, fossil chasers and anyone who wants to know what is waiting down there.

orecast Pro:
The subscription unlocks the AI answers, throws out the ads and opens the full depth of the data. Renews automatically, two taps to cancel in the settings. The map with all its layers stays open without a subscription too.

One more thing: orecast talks about odds, not certain deposits. And before you reach for the shovel, follow the local rules on nature protection, private land and collecting permits.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-31

Four additions to the map.

Gold panning rivers: 37 rivers across Europe where panning is worthwhile, among them the Rhine, Eder, Isar, Oker and Zwickauer Mulde. Part of orecast Pro.

Amber areas: 15 documented sites, free for everyone.

Fossils with substance: sites now show what was actually found there. Instead of just a collection name you get the fossil group with its own picture, the most common genera, the age in millions of years and the formation. Records from museum collections also carry the locality, the year of the find and the holding institution.

The age is deliberately given as a range. These are the boundaries of the geological interval, not a measurement taken on a single fossil.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-27
