Who We Are
Detector Maps is the brainchild of two brothers—a geologist/spatial scientist and a tech-savvy software developer from Queensland, Australia. As successful prospectors, we believe in the power of data-driven exploration and have capitalized on this, making finds of over 15 ounces per week. Our platform is designed to help prospectors—both beginners and experts—unlock the secrets of Australia’s gold-bearing regions with the latest geoscientific information and cutting-edge mapping technology, all in the palm of your hand. With your support, we aim to build the world’s best gold prospecting platform.
With access to detailed map layers, including soils, rocks, streams, and mining leases, we make it easier than ever to pinpoint areas rich in gold deposits. Whether you’re at home planning your next expedition or deep in the field using our mobile app offline, Detector Maps gives you the insights and tools you need for a successful gold prospecting journey.
