Metal Detecting App: Trovik

Trovik is the metal detecting app that remembers every find and every pass you walk. Start a hunt, put the phone in your pocket, and Trovik draws your path as wide as your swing, so you see the ground you have covered and the gaps you missed.

WHEN SOMETHING COMES OUT OF THE GROUND
Tap “Find here”. The GPS spot and time are saved for you. Add the type, depth and target ID in a few taps, take a photo, done. Dug a pull tab? One tap on “Trash” with the target ID. Trash never counts against your free finds.

SEE WHAT YOU HAVE COVERED
• Live coverage band in your swing width, with time, distance, area and finds
• Pause and resume, end the hunt from the notification
• If GPS drops out, Trovik tells you instead of silently losing your track
• Every hunt is saved with its track, area covered and finds per hour

TARGET ID CHECK
Your detector shows a number. Trovik shows what that number turned out to be on your ground so far: worth digging, mixed or mostly trash. Learned only from your own digs, trash included.

YOUR PERMISSIONS IN ONE PLACE
Fields, beaches and parks with landowner, contact, permission dates and conditions. Draw the field boundary and see what share of the field you have searched across all hunts. Get a reminder before a permission ends.

YOUR SPOTS STAY YOURS
No account. Finds, photos and tracks stay on your phone. Photos are saved without location data. Ads in the free version are only personalised with your consent. Share cards show your find or your hunt, never the map or the spot.

MAPS
Aerial images from the USGS National Map in the USA and the BKG TopPlusOpen map in Europe. Save a site’s map for fields without signal. Your track and finds always work offline.

Trovik is a logbook for detectorists, not a government app and not legal advice. It does not show where detecting is allowed. Always get the landowner’s permission and follow the law where you search. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, finds that may be treasure must be reported within 14 days (Treasure Act 1996).
