Journal strikes
Log each find with soil type, weight, size, photos, and the search conditions from that day — your private strike feed, not a claim map.
FIELD LEDGER
A pocket ledger for recreational panning — soil, strikes, sites, and season totals in one place. Not a claim map or legal boundary tool.
CAPABILITIES
Five tabs mirror how prospectors actually work: log strikes, study ground, pick a site, sharpen craft, and read the season assay.
Log each find with soil type, weight, size, photos, and the search conditions from that day — your private strike feed, not a claim map.
Browse featured creek bends and bench sites with context before you pack the pan — reference shelves, not legal boundary data.
Read geological soil profiles and learn what ground signs mean for placer and lode prospecting in the field.
Open craft articles on technique, tools, and reading color in the pan so trips stay consistent trip to trip.
See season weight, estimated value, and composition bars that show which find types actually paid over time.
Capture a new entry from anywhere in the app with camera-ready photos and structured assay fields.
IN THE APP

Latest find stays on top with weight context; tap any row to open the full assay detail.
Soil Atlas pairs strata art with plain-language notes on what each profile means for panning.

Prospector is developed for recreational field logging. The app stores journal entries, photos, and preferences you create on your device. We do not operate a cloud account service for your strike data.
Prospector does not collect personal data for advertising or analytics. If you contact us by email, we use your message only to respond to your request.
Photos you attach to finds stay in the app’s on-device storage unless you export or share them through iOS. You can delete entries at any time within the app.
Children: Prospector is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child provided contact information, email us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the revised policy.
Need help logging a find, reading soil profiles, or understanding treasury totals? Email us with your device model and iOS version.
We typically reply within a few business days. For App Store purchase or download issues, you can also use Apple’s standard support channels.
