Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A metal-detecting app combining a legality-coded map, private find logs, GPS trails, community discoveries, and a geology layer for likely gold-bearing ground.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-20 issue.

Why it surfaced

The homepage turns a hobby’s scattered rules into a readable map: open ground, permission zones, council rules, and no-go areas are shown alongside real community finds such as a ring recovered 14 cm deep at Slaty Creek. It is unusually specific, with enough practical detail to make the hobby feel like a mapped field operation rather than just another social app.
