You can also see when gold was discovered there & more. ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2023-01-27, version 1.2.1* Very detailed once you get to know how to use it! ### 5/5 — Gold!! *2022-04-21, version 1.2.1* I love this map. It’sInformative and gives you adequate and precise locations ### 5/5 — Great stuff. *2022-01-26, version 1.2.1* Lots to explore. Great use of data overlays.

Even though I bought the gold package, you gave me the silver package and took money 2 more times and you are still asking for money. Nobody should download this app, scammers. ### 1/5 — Nothing useful without payment. *2021-02-16, version 1.2.0* Then all you see are public records our tax dollars already paid to survey and locate that are freely available from the government websites. Total waste of time. ### 1/5 — Simon *2021-02-02, version 1.2.0* Only checked two and gave up as I no longer trust the app Mines in the wrong places Finneys hill is not near lake Manchester it’s in Indooroopilly and used by the University of Queensland as a training mine. Centry mine in Brisbane was a Gold mine not a Silver mine etc. I don’t know where these guys get there info from. And for somebody that explores old mines I don’t want to waste a day going to incorrect locations when I have much more accurate data. ### 1/5 — Horribly Incomplete waste of cash *2020-08-06, version 1.2.0* I downloaded the app and saw there were several silver sites in Canada. Getting excited I purchased the pack to unlock gemstones as that was the only way to access the info. Only 2 gemstone sites that I can see in all of Canada!! Update your info guys! There’s TONs of sites in BC alone! What a waste of $$. Horribly disappointed. Honestly feels like I got ripped off. If only I could return an app.... ### 1/5 — Worthless in Prescott *2020-02-20, version 1.1.0* Every property I’ve been to here is on private property and under new or other ownership than the info indicates. Spent three days and 126 miles going from place to place only to be run off by the owners stating that they have been invaded by people using these apps. I guess it makes sense. It’s useless here. ### 1/5 — Europe *2018-08-16* Europe is empty. Austria, Switzerland nothing. Some place’s in Germany but very little ### 1/5 — Обман *2015-04-24* Списали 100р. При этом цена на скачивании указана не была. Удалил сразу. Верните деньги! Deception. Deducted money. Waste of money! ### 1/5 — Not for Canada *2014-05-10, version 1.0.2* Map only includes USA .. hardly touches the border over Canada ### 2/5 — No recent information *2019-09-23, version 1.1.0* Update current workings ### 3/5 — Not Free *2023-07-19, version 1.2.1* The app is called “find gold” but you can’t see any of the places to find gold without paying for it. I could understand if the other minerals were add-ons, but for gold it does not make sense. Wasted my time downloading. It does appear to have some good features and could be helpful if you are willing to pay. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is awesome!! *2026-01-08, version 1.2.1* This app provides great value and is perfect for finding old gold mines ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-11-16, version 1.2.1* Never found any gold, but fun to look at ### 5/5 — NumbNut *2025-10-05, version 1.2.1* Most information I have seen in any app. Top notch for reference and location.

I find the app easy, quick and accurate. ### 5/5 — Love it. *2025-07-06, version 1.2.1* Just wish I could download the maps or areas so I can use this while in areas with low/no signal. 5 out of 5 still. ### 5/5 — One of the best apps *2025-05-24, version 1.2.1* You need something for planning your prospecting trips. This starts the ball rolling the right direction. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-03-15, version 1.2.1* Adventure for the family ### 5/5 — Overall very happy with app *2025-02-26, version 1.2.1* Works pretty well, definitely a good value.

But overall very happy. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-12-20, version 1.2.1* Just what I was looking for. Very interesting. ### 5/5 — Very handy *2024-12-04, version 1.2.1* As an amateur prospector I find this app quite handy for locating areas where gold has been found before. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
