Store description excerpt
Which metal detecting app is right for you? It’s this one. Here’s why: I created My Finds because I couldn’t find an existing app to do what I wanted, the way I wanted, both in the field and afterwards. So I developed my own, invited a slew of other detectorists to beta test it, and have been tweaking and improving it constantly ever since. It works beautifully, looks good, and is getting better with every version. TRACK YOUR SESSIONS Tap a button to start and My Finds records your path. Auto-end after inactivity, pause and resume cleanly when you stop for lunch. LOG YOUR FINDS Tap to log a find at its location, and optionally note its category, subcategory, denomination, ruler, type, year, depth, metal type, VDI, and a free-text description. Curated suggestion lists for British and US coinage. Finds can be added later if you miss any while out. Finds are shown on the map with colour-coded pins to represent different categories. ADD & SHARE PHOTOS Take photos in the field. Pinch to zoom on a photo to read hallmarks and legends. If you have photos from previous sessions you want to include, select them in the Photos app, tap Share, and bring them straight into My Finds. You can also share images by tapping the share button on individual photos. RETRACE YOUR STEPS The Map tab layers previous sessions’ paths, so you can see the ground you’ve already covered, and the ground you have not. Replay any session and watch the path rebuild as the finds appear. HISTORIC MAPS AND LiDAR Overlay historic Ordnance Survey maps to research old boundaries, trackways, and lost buildings, or switch on the UK public rights-of-way layer. The LiDAR Terrain overlay reveals ridge and furrow, and other faint earthworks that satellite imagery can’t show (England and much of Wales). PERMISSIONS AND PROTECTED GROUND Keep a record of landowners: contact details, permission dates, conditions, and a copy of your agreement. Draw the boundaries of your permissions and get a gentle warning as you approach the edge. The Protected Areas overlay shows scheduled monuments in England, Wales and Scotland, plus SSSIs and other protected ground in England, with a warning if you try to start a session on one. SHARE A SESSION REPORT Turn any session into a PDF for the landowner: a map with find pins, a photo and details of each find. It's your choice of what info to include. SEE YOUR PROGRESS The Insights dashboard turns your finds into charts, including totals over time, top sites, metals, periods, and personal records. Pro adds custom filtered queries by date, category, metal, depth, ruler, year and more. SAFE-KEEPING AND MOVABILITY Deleted a find by mistake? Restore it within 30 days. Restore or migrate your My Finds database (finds, sessions, photos, settings) by backing it up to a single file you can restore on a new phone or merge into an existing collection. Want to move from a different app? My Finds supports importing your finds from FindSpot, GoTerrain, and Digly, or from
