Dektor is the essential app for metal detectorists in Romania. It maps every registered archaeological site, helping you detect responsibly and stay within the law.
KNOW WHERE THE SITES ARE
Explore thousands of archaeological sites from the National Archaeological Repertory (RAN - https://ran.cimec.ro), with boundaries, terrain types and detailed descriptions. Proximity alerts notify you when approaching a protected area.
TRACK YOUR SESSIONS
Start a detecting session and let Dektor record your route, distance and duration via GPS — even in the background. Review past sessions, edit tracks and keep a complete history.
LOG YOUR FINDS
Photograph your discoveries, pin them on the map and add notes. Keep them private or share with the community. Everything organized in one place.
AI IDENTIFICATION
Not sure what you dug up? Take a photo and let AI analyze it. Get a description of the object, approximate period, material and condition — in seconds.
OVERLAY MAPS AND DATA LAYERS
Go beyond the standard map. Add overlay maps for extra context and toggle data layers: rivers, roads, forests, contour lines, administrative boundaries and historical landmarks.
MEASURING TOOL
Measure distances and areas directly on the map. Plan your detecting routes or estimate land areas.
