The Challenge
Gold-bearing ground is documented in public USGS data — but it’s locked in spreadsheets and desktop maps that are useless on a creek with no signal. And once you’re out there, finds get logged on scraps of paper, if at all.
Our Approach
Gold Story bundles a searchable map of documented US gold-commodity sites with a low-bandwidth basemap, so you can pan and find your spot in airplane mode. Every find goes into an honest journal — weight, date, location, photos — grouped by trip, with the totals done for you.
Key Features
- 75,000+ gold sites, offline — USGS MRDS data on an on-device map
- A real find journal — weight, date, location, and photos for every find
- Organized by trip — see which creek and which technique actually paid off
- Learn the craft — reading water, panning and sluicing, and the legal basics
- Truly private — no account, no tracking, nothing leaves your phone
