Description
Track sessions, log finds, and build your detecting record
My Finds
Created by a metal detectorist, for metal detectorists… MY FINDS allows you to record your detecting sessions including the path you walk, the GPS location of each find, descriptions of those finds, photographs, and more.
TRACK YOUR SESSIONS
Simply tap the button to start and My Finds will begin tracking your path with exact GPS location. Easy-to-use controls allow you to set preferences for auto-ending a session after inactivity, or pausing and resuming sessions. Record your detector model and program for the outing (if you wish) and get started!
LOG YOUR FINDS
Tap the button to add a find and the app will record its exact location and any other details you provide (category, depth, metal type, description, VDI, etc.). Finds can also be added later if you miss any while you’re in the field.
ADD & SHARE PHOTOS
Take pictures of each find while you’re out in the field, using adjustable camera settings, or take a photo later and add it to your record for that find. Share images by tapping the share button on individual photos within the app.
VIEW PAST SESSIONS
See an actual map of your path with colour-coded pins for each find. Overlay a footpath map (UK) or filter by category to spot patterns in your finds. UK features include an OS grid reference for every find location and Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) submission tracking.
No account required! No ads and no behavioural tracking. Anonymous crash reports help us improve the app.

Try free with no subscription for logging up to 20 finds, or free for 30 days with an annual subscription. Your finds data will not be deleted if you choose not to subscribe, or if you cancel at any time. You will still have full access to your finds, but adding new ones requires an active subscription.
Nouveautés (v1.4.0)
Clubs & Landowners - Keep track of who lets you detect where. Record a club or landowner’s contact details, permission dates, and conditions, attach a photo or PDF of your agreement, and draw the boundaries of the fields you’re allowed to search. Get a gentle warning when you wander near the edge of your permission.
Protected Areas on the map (UK) - See regulated no-dig areas while you plan and detect. Scheduled Monuments are shown clearly, with a warning before you start a session on one, alongside SSSI, SAC, SPA and Ramsar conservation designations.
Share a session report - Turn any session into a clean PDF to send a landowner — a map with numbered find pins, a photo and details for each find, and tap-through links. Share it by Messages, WhatsApp, email, AirDrop or Files. New privacy controls let you choose what the report includes.
Custom Queries in Insights - Build your own filtered views of your finds — by date, category, metal type, VDI, depth, site, denomination, ruler or year — and see the results grouped into charts you can tap to drill into. (Requires a subscription.)
Import straight from the Photos app Select photos in the Photos app, tap Share, and choose My Finds to bring them in as finds.
Recently Deleted - Deleted finds now move to a Recently Deleted folder for 30 days before being permanently removed. Recover a find from Settings → Recently Deleted, or delete it for good at any time. Delete a find from inside its detail screen with the new button at the bottom, or from a session list with a long-press on any find row.
More improvements - A big accessibility pass (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, larger tap targets, and a coordinate nudge pad for fine-tuning find locations), plus fixes: session paths no longer develop gaps during faster walking, the sweep-area and path-direction overlays now work on the Map tab, photo capture dates are read correctly across time zones, and a rare find-thumbnail crash is resolved. Settings has been reorganised to be easier to navigate.
