Detecting Log is the field journal built for metal detectorists.
Log every hunt in seconds - capture your location on the map, snap photos of your finds, and record your detector settings, soil type, weather, and depth. Everything you need to remember what worked and where.
YOUR SPOTS STAY PRIVATE
Your data lives on your device - period. No account required, no cloud upload by default, and no way for anyone (including us) to see your locations or finds. Cloud backup is available for premium users who opt in, but it's always your choice. Your honey holes are safe.
YOUR FIELD REPORT
See your stats at a glance: total hunts, finds, keepers, average finds per hunt, longest session, and total field time. Your dashboard updates after every hunt.
SMART ANALYTICS
Go beyond basic logging. Interactive charts show your VDI distribution, depth-to-keeper ratios, finds-per-hunt trends, and more. Premium analytics add detector settings effectiveness, weather correlation, and soil performance insights - so you can see exactly what's working.
FIND ANY HUNT
Filter your hunt history by detector model, find type, keeper status, depth range, or date. Sort by most recent or oldest. Every hunt is searchable, every find is filterable.
THE FULL PICTURE
Each hunt shows a complete summary: map location, detector settings, weather, soil, duration, all your finds with photos, and keeper status. Open any location directly in your maps app.
