Take TroveRadar Into the Field

Pin your metal detecting finds to your field journal. Get offline maps, real-time species ID, and community find reports.

How many metal detecting finds does TroveRadar cover?
TroveRadar catalogs 1,230+ metal detecting finds including coins, relics, jewelry, and military artifacts, each with signal patterns, depth data, value estimates, and cleaning tips.
Where is metal detecting legal?
Metal detecting laws vary by state, land type, and jurisdiction. Most public beaches allow detecting, while national parks, historic sites, and archaeological areas are almost always off-limits. Check our State Guides for jurisdiction-specific rules before you swing.
What do the signal patterns mean?
Signal patterns describe how a target appears on your metal detector's display and audio. High conductor signals typically indicate silver or copper, while low conductor signals suggest iron or lead. Each find in our database includes the typical signal characteristics to help you identify targets before digging.
