DetectBuddy: Metal Detecting

Your finds. Your routes. Your private museum. Preserve discoveries, organise collections and relive every detecting adventure - without accounts or tracking.

DetectBuddy is a private metal detecting app and personal finds museum, built to keep your detecting records under your control.

No account required. Your finds, routes, notes, photos, videos, and detecting locations stay on your device — not in a DetectBuddy cloud database. We do not store or access your detecting records.

Capture each find in the field, organise your collection, plan future searches, and relive the story of every detecting day.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your detecting history belongs to you.

• No online account or login required • No DetectBuddy server storage for your finds or locations • No advertising or cross-app tracking IDs • Optional App Lock with Face ID or PIN protection

BUILD YOUR PERSONAL FINDS MUSEUM

Browse your finds in a polished gallery and turn individual objects into a collection that feels curated, not merely recorded.

RECORD EACH FIND IN CONTEXT

Add photos, videos, notes, locations, dates, measurements, identification details, and field context, so every object retains the story of where and how it was found.

CREATE MUSEUM-STYLE DISPLAY CARDS

Present finds and collections with elegant layouts, themed cards, and QR codes for sharing, display, or reference.

CURATE COLLECTIONS YOUR WAY

Group finds by trip, permission, rally, location, object type, period, theme, or personal meaning. Build a catalogue around the way you detect and collect.

PLAN FUTURE DIGS AND RALLIES

Prepare for permissions, detecting sessions, group digs, and rallies with planning tools that help you organise places, areas, notes, and upcoming searches.

MAP FINDS AND JOURNEYS

Save the location of individual finds, record complete detecting routes when useful, and retain the map context connecting each object to the wider day.

IMPORT, EXPORT, AND STAY IN CONTROL

Import and export journeys, collections, and GPX route data so your detecting history remains portable, flexible, and yours to manage.

RELIVE THE ADVENTURE

Return to completed trips and revisit how your route, finds, photos, locations, and memories came together across the day.

BUILT FOR DETECTORISTS

DetectBuddy follows the real detecting workflow: planning the search, capturing finds in the field, organising the collection, presenting important objects, and remembering the experience behind them.
