Gold Prospector App

7 days free, every feature unlocked. AI terrain analysis, LiDAR maps, and a community of finders — built for gold prospectors and metal detectorists.

Read the land. Strike gold.

Gold Prospector is the all-in-one app for recreational gold prospectors and metal detectorists. Built by a lifelong prospector, it brings together AI, GIS mapping, LiDAR, and a community of finders — all in one place.

— FEATURES —

AI TERRAIN ANALYSIS Snap a photo of any creek, hillside, or stretch of ground and let the AI score its gold potential. Get back a breakdown of geology cues, indicator minerals, and where to focus your effort.

GOLDBOT — YOUR AI PROSPECTING GUIDE Ask anything. From "what does a black sand line tell me?" to "how do I read a contact zone?" — GoldBot is built for prospectors, by a prospector.

MAPS & LAYERS Pick your basemap, then stack the layers that matter for the spot you're working. Built on Mapbox with offline support for backcountry trips.

BASEMAPS

• Satellite — high-res aerial imagery
• Outdoors — trails and terrain detail
• Topo — clean topographic view
• Dark — minimal style for low-light readability

DATA LAYERS (toggle on or off, stack as needed)

• Gold Probability — AI-generated heatmap of high-potential ground
• Water Flow Zones — natural gold trap predictions along creeks and washes
• Pay Streak Zones — predicted gold deposition patterns
• Historic Mines — USGS MRDS database of documented mine sites
• Mining Claims — BLM active claim boundaries
• Geochemistry — USGS soil sample data (Au, Ag, Cu)
• LiDAR Hillshade — elevation shading that reveals benches, scarps, and old workings hidden under vegetation
• Geology — USGS geologic map compilation
• Streams & Waterways — USGS National Hydrography Dataset
• Public Lands — BLM, USFS, and NPS boundaries
• My Waypoints — your saved spots
• Trail Tracks — your GPS breadcrumb recordings

The right stack of layers reveals ground most prospectors walk right past.

TRACK EVERY TRIP & FIND GPS trail tracking and a detailed gold log. Record finds with photos, weight, location, notes, and conditions. Build a history of what works.

TIPS & GUIDES In-depth guides covering geology, equipment, technique, and history — written for both newcomers and seasoned diggers.

A COMMUNITY THAT GETS IT Share finds, follow other prospectors, ask questions. A space built for our hobby, without the noise of mainstream social media.

YOURS TO KEEP Your data, your finds, your maps. Export and back up whenever you want.

Made by a prospector and metal detectorist who got tired of cobbling together five different apps for one hobby. Built to be the tool he wished existed.
