Your first hunt, step by step
1 Track your route
Start a hunt and carry your phone as you detect. The route records where you have walked.
2 Give each find a story
Log a find where you recover it. Add a category, depth and notes. Find photos are a Premium feature.
3 Come back to the details
Save the hunt, then open Routes to review its path, finds and statistics. This example does not save a real hunt.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about LuckyFind.
Is LuckyFind free?
Core route tracking and find logging are free. LuckyFind Premium unlocks find photos, satellite and hybrid maps, and overlays of previous routes and finds. Account sync for routes and find details does not require Premium. Available plans and prices are shown in the app before purchase.
Does LuckyFind work without internet?
LuckyFind is designed to keep recording during temporary loss of service. Routes and finds are cached on the device and sync with your account when connectivity returns. Fresh map tiles generally require a connection, while previously viewed areas may remain cached.
Does LuckyFind detect metal itself?
No. LuckyFind is a companion app for use alongside a physical metal detector — it does not replace one or connect to it. GPS route tracking and find logging are free; photos, satellite and hybrid maps, and past-hunt overlays require Premium.
What metal detectors does it work with?
All of them. LuckyFind doesn't connect to your detector — it runs on your phone in your pocket. Works equally well alongside a Garrett ACE, Minelab Equinox, Nokta Simplex, or any other detector.
Do I need to create an account?
No manual sign-up is required. LuckyFind starts with an automatically created guest profile. You can later add an email and password, or use Sign in with Apple on iOS, to make the account recoverable.
What data does LuckyFind collect?
LuckyFind associates routes, precise find locations, notes, and selected photos with an automatically created Firebase account so they can be restored and synchronized. Firebase also provides analytics, crash reporting, and security, and RevenueCat manages subscriptions. We do not sell your hunt content. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Is LuckyFind on iPad?
LuckyFind runs on iPad, but only iPads with Wi-Fi + Cellular have built-in GPS — Wi-Fi-only iPads can't track routes in the field. Either way, the app is best on a phone you can carry in your pocket while detecting.
Track your next hunt
Free for iPhone and Android. Open the app, start a route, and let LuckyFind do the rest.
