Detector Maps vs Dig Here

Detector Maps is the field tool that keeps you on the gold - and on the relics. Built by geologists for prospectors, relic hunters and metal detectorists across the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, it pairs geological data and historical maps with rock-solid GPS so you spend your time on high-potential ground, not guessing. Whether you are swinging a detector for gold nuggets, coin shooting an old homestead, hunting Civil War relics or panning a creek, it puts serious research intelligence in your pocket - and it works offline, where the finds actually are. COIN & RELIC HUNTING - NATIONWIDE Research old towns, ghost towns, homesteads, schoolhouses and long-forgotten gathering places - the ground where old coins, buttons, buckles and relics are still waiting. - Historical map overlays: hunt the buildings, roads and fields the modern map forgot - Historic USGS Topo maps, coast to coast - LiDAR that reveals cellar holes, old roads and house sites hiding under the trees - Plan permissions with confidence before you knock GOLD PROSPECTING - 15 STATES Serious geology for nugget hunting, from California to the Carolinas. Detect where gold has already been found, then find what the old-timers missed. - Historic gold mines, diggings and workings - proven gold ground - Surface geochemistry with pathfinder-element filtering - Current and expired mining claims, updated every weekday - 1-metre LiDAR hillshade that reveals old workings worth a closer swing DETECTOR ACADEMY A built-in crash course: 34 short video lessons, most under a minute - layers, LiDAR, waypoints, trails, offline maps and Pro tools. DETECTOR GRIDS Plan complete, methodical coverage of a site with adjustable search lanes you follow while recording your trail - never grid the same ground twice. BREADCRUMB TRAIL TRACKING (BACKGROUND GPS) Record your exact trail even with the app in the background or the screen off. See where you have walked and save paths for the next trip. WHY WE REQUEST "ALLOW ALL THE TIME" LOCATION ACCESS Detector Maps only uses background location when you switch breadcrumb tracking ON, keeping an unbroken log while your phone is idle. Disable it anytime in the app or device settings. WAYPOINT MARKING AND FIND LOGGING Drop waypoints on coins, relics, gold finds and old workings. Add names, notes and photos, then sync securely between your phone and the web app so your finds are never lost. REAL-TIME GPS NAVIGATION Watch boundaries, geology, historical maps and terrain update around you as you move - a GPS built for prospecting, coin shooting and relic hunting.

DigHere is a map for gold prospectors. It shows the ground the way a fossicker needs to see it, then helps you find your way out again when you are done. Turn on the terrain and LiDAR layers to read the landscape before you walk it. Hillshade and slope bring out the gullies and benches. The LiDAR analysis layers pick out things that are hard to see on the ground or on satellite imagery: old alluvial workings, terrace benches, paleochannels, and sudden changes in relief. Use them to decide where to swing the coil instead of wandering. Drop a pin the moment you find something. Every pin has a type, such as gold, water, camp, vehicle access or hazard, so your map stays readable. Pins are saved on your phone and sync to your account, so a good spot is still there next trip. Get Me Back records your track as you walk in. When you are ready to leave, it turns that track around and points you back to where you started, with a compass and a line on the map. It runs offline and keeps going with the screen locked, so it works deep in the scrub where there is no signal. Everything works without a connection. Cache the terrain and layers for an area over wifi, then head out. Your pins, tracks and maps are all there when you are off the grid. DigHere also runs on CarPlay and Apple Watch. On CarPlay you can navigate to a pin, drive back to your start, and see terrain on the car screen. On Apple Watch you can drop a pin, record a Get Me Back trail, keep a named Dig Track, and follow the compass to a pin without pulling your phone out. Some layers and areas need a subscription, and you can see what is available before you subscribe. Covers Australia and New Zealand, Canada and the USA.
