Launching 2026 · Built for Detectorists, by Detectorists

Built to Strengthen the Hobby — Not Exploit It

Aureal isn't just another "tech app." It's a companion designed for people who care about:

Finding history
Respecting private land owners
Documenting discoveries
Preserving the future of detecting

Your journeys, your finds, your permissions, your data — always yours.
Aureal simply helps you explore with confidence and clarity.

Everything You Need in the Field

Live Hunt Tracking

See where you've walked, which grids you've covered, and how efficient your sweeps are — even completely offline.

Find Logging That Feels Effortless

Snap photos, record depth, tag materials, and save precise GPS coordinates. Your entire discovery stays organized forever.

Historic & Custom Map Overlays

Layer old plats, aerials, and imported historic images over modern maps to uncover forgotten paths, homesites, and structures.

Badges & Milestones

Celebrate progress with meaningful achievements: hunts completed, eco-impact, rare finds, lifetime streaks, and more.

Lifetime Stats & Trends

Track hours hunted, distance covered, find categories, grid efficiency, and how your skills evolve over time.

Eco Impact Tracking

See the difference you make — trash removed, sites cleaned, percentage of responsible recovery — and help elevate the hobby's reputation.

Historic Insight, Modern Precision

Aureal blends past and present:

Import custom overlays (historic surveys, plats, homesteads, dig research)

Align them manually with your GPS location

Fade, scale, and anchor your overlay with pinpoint accuracy

Toggle overlays during active hunts

No other detecting app gives users this level of research power.

Detect With Confidence — and Integrity

Aureal includes built-in guidance on:

Local laws & reporting requirements
Digging etiquette
Artifact stewardship
Environmental considerations
How to obtain permissions the right way
When and how to report significant finds
"Every signal tells a story. Our job is to find it — and protect it."

Aureal helps you explore, discover, document, and respect the land.
That's our ethos. That's our responsibility.
