For detectorists

Stop asking.
Start booking.

Federal land is closed. State rules change at every border. The one route that has always been lawful is the landowner's written permission, and until now the only way to get it was knocking on doors.

What a booking gives you

Ground you are allowed to be on

Every listing is land whose owner has offered it, with the days they allow and the rate they set. No cold calls, no ambiguity, no being asked to leave.

The agreement in your pocket

A signed search agreement per booking, with both names, the dates and the boundary. If anybody questions what you are doing, you open your phone.

Federal boundaries drawn

Restricted land is a layer on the map. The Archaeological Resources Protection Act does not care that the boundary was invisible from the road.

Terrain that shows you where to walk

USGS LiDAR relief strips the vegetation off and leaves the shape of the ground. Historical topographic maps show what used to stand on it.

Your own finds record

There is no national scheme to send finds to here, so keep your own. Photograph, spot, held against the booking.

Verified, and worth verifying

Identity checks run both ways. Landowners keep listing because the people who turn up are accountable.

What it costs

You pay the landowner
for the day.

Rates are set by the people who own the ground. Across the East Coast most listings sit between twenty eight and thirty five dollars a day, with large farmland cheapest by the acre and small historic house grounds at the top of the range. A service fee is shown before you confirm and nothing is added after.

The map layers, the coverage tracking and the finds log cost nothing. Look at as much ground as you like before you book any of it. There is a full breakdown of every layer in the detecting toolkit.

Where we are

East Coast first.

Sixteen states from Maine to Florida, opening in order, because access rules are set state by state and each one deserves a real answer rather than a national average. Every state we cover has a page setting out what is allowed on private, state and federal land, with the governing authority named.
