🪙 DetectraPro Flags Another Coin Hotspot! 🎯

It’s fantastic to see DetectraPro being put to the test out in the field, with some brilliant results!

Using DetectraPro’s research tools, the area where most of the coins were discovered had already been highlighted within the app’s Priority Search Zone! 🔥

This is exactly what DetectraPro was designed to do — help detectorists identify promising areas using historical research and mapping data before heading out detecting.

💬 Here’s what one happy user had to say:

“I did try to take a video of me using it, but it turns out I shouldn’t be behind a camera! 😂😂”

👏 A brilliant result and another great example of how DetectraPro can help take some of the guesswork out of choosing where to search.

🔎 Research smarter. Detect with purpose.

Shared QR maps
New feature

Shared QR maps

Create a QR code from your research map and open the shared map on another device. Saved QR maps can be revisited from your account, making it easier to take prepared research into the field.
Offline field maps
New feature

Offline field maps

Prepare a map before heading out and keep useful research available when mobile signal is poor. Offline mapping is designed to make DetectraPro more practical away from a reliable connection.
Research Intelligence improvements
Improvement

Research Intelligence improvements

Field Intelligence, area analysis, Terrain Scan and evidence-matching tools have been refined to make it easier to compare archaeological, route, landscape and protection evidence in one place.
