This maintenance release polishes recording, insights and accessibility: The Log Find sheet now protects a half-entered find: swiping it away or tapping Cancel with details entered asks before anything is discarded. Finds recorded with a depth preset show their depth in the finds list and in shared session reports, following your metric or imperial setting. New find category: Ox Knob / Horn Protector, under Horse / Animal. Custom Queries: the date filter now covers the whole of the chosen days, and VDI or year ranges work with just a minimum or just a maximum. The session time slider’s labels now show the session’s start and end times correctly. Colour swatches in the club and landowner editor reliably show your current selection. VoiceOver improvements throughout, including sort-order announcements, User Guide heading navigation and clearer row descriptions. Numerous under-the-bonnet reliability fixes to backups, imports and photo handling.

GPS track quality Stray GPS readings — where the phone briefly reports a position far from where you actually were — are now filtered out as they happen, so your recorded track stays true to your walk. Shared and exported GPX tracks are cleaner: a stray reading or a signal gap no longer draws a long straight line across the map. Your track no longer breaks up at detecting pace. Quiet spells while you sweep and dig stay one continuous path; the line only breaks where you genuinely moved during a gap. Find depth Tap a depth preset when logging a find to record how deep it was. The depth shows on the find’s detail page, can be changed any time, and follows your measurement setting (inches or centimetres). The free-text depth note is still there for anything that doesn’t fit a preset. Insights gains a Depth Distribution chart and a Deepest Find record card. Coin metal When you log a coin, My Finds can suggest its likely metal — silver, gold or copper alloy — worked out from the denomination and year. Tap the suggestion to fill it in; nothing is set unless you choose it. Dated coins no longer ask for a metal on the Improve Records list, except where it genuinely can’t be told apart — like a wartime threepence, which came in both silver and brass. Date Range You can now record the period a find dates to — like 1250–1400 for a medieval buckle type — separately from the Year field, which stays reserved for dates actually stamped on the object. The new fields appear when logging a find and on its detail page, for every category, with a CE/BCE switch and open-ended ranges (“From 1066”). A date range counts as a recorded date on the Improve Records list. Backups Backups now include your hand-drawn field boundaries and your agreement documents (photos and PDFs of written permissions), plus each find’s favourite star, structured depth and date range — so restoring onto a new phone brings everything back complete. GoTerrain imports All of GoTerrain’s find icons are now recognised, so imported finds land in a sensible category instead of Other / Unidentified. The gold, silver and copper icons also fill in a find’s metal type when GoTerrain didn’t record one. New find categories Two new top-level categories join the UK set: Tools / Implements (agricultural and trade tools, surveying gear, personal implements) and Token / Medal (trade tokens, jettons, commemorative and award medals). Both offer type suggestions and are mapped for PAS export; anything you’ve already recorded keeps its name and stays where it is. Two new metal types in the picker: White Metal and Nickel Silver. Find notes A find’s notes can now be added or changed on the find detail screen — previously they could only be entered when the find was first logged. Maps A session’s map now marks where the session ended, including the true closing point when a session ended on the drive away. UK rights of way are drawn in their proper colours again, matching the map legend. The Map tab opens centred on your current location instead of zoomed out to fit every find. Stability Fixed a class of rare crashes where a find’s list row could be redrawn just after the find was deleted. Fixed a shared session report where the first find could be missing from the PDF when the session covered a tall, narrow area.

The in-app User Guide now explains Session Land Type — record the kind of ground you detected on and see it across your sessions, insights and reports.

VIEW THE GROUND LIKE AN ARCHAEOLOGIST A new LiDAR Terrain A map overlay drapes the UK Environment Agency’s one-metre LiDAR elevation survey over your fields, revealing ridge and furrow, old boundaries, trackways and other earthworks that satellite imagery can’t show. Choose between two visualisations: classic Sunlit Hillshade with presets and adjustable lighting, or Sky View, which makes ditches and banks stand out whichever way they run. England coverage only, included with Pro. BACK UP AND RESTORE YOUR FINDS Create a single backup file of everything (your finds, sessions, photos and settings) and keep it safe in Files, iCloud Drive or anywhere you like. Restore it on a new phone, or merge it into an existing collection. A gentle reminder nudges you to back up from time to time. MOVING FROM OTHER APPS My Finds can now import your finds from FindSpot, Go Terrain and Digly, so you don’t have to start from scratch. IDENTIFY LAND TYPES Tag session with the type of ground you were detecting: ploughed, pasture, stubble, woodland, beach, parkland or other. Set it when you start a session or add it later, see it on your session report, and group your finds by land type in Insights to spot which ground works best for you. TIDY CATEGORIES FOR TRAVELERS If you detect in more than one country, My Finds can now hide another region’s categories from the finds picker lists, to keep them shorter, without losing any of your data. VOICE-OVER OVERLAYS VoiceOver users can now adjust the map overlay sliders for historic map opacity and LiDAR terrain controls with the standard swipe up and down gestures.

New: an opacity slider for the historic maps. Tap the (i) button on the historic map to dim the old map and see modern roads through it. Sharing photos from the Photos app into My Finds is more reliable: the import screen no longer occasionally opens empty — whether on the first share or after reopening the app — so your selected photos appear straight away. Sharing a very large batch of photos now shows a clear “pick fewer and share again” message instead of the My Finds option quietly disappearing from the share sheet. Fixed a crash that could happen when deleting a session from the Sessions list.

Clubs & Landowners - Keep track of who lets you detect where. Record a club or landowner’s contact details, permission dates, and conditions, attach a photo or PDF of your agreement, and draw the boundaries of the fields you’re allowed to search. Get a gentle warning when you wander near the edge of your permission. Protected Areas on the map (UK) - See regulated no-dig areas while you plan and detect. Scheduled Monuments are shown clearly, with a warning before you start a session on one, alongside SSSI, SAC, SPA and Ramsar conservation designations. Share a session report - Turn any session into a clean PDF to send a landowner — a map with numbered find pins, a photo and details for each find, and tap-through links. Share it by Messages, WhatsApp, email, AirDrop or Files. New privacy controls let you choose what the report includes. Custom Queries in Insights - Build your own filtered views of your finds — by date, category, metal type, VDI, depth, site, denomination, ruler or year — and see the results grouped into charts you can tap to drill into. (Requires a subscription.) Import straight from the Photos app Select photos in the Photos app, tap Share, and choose My Finds to bring them in as finds. Recently Deleted - Deleted finds now move to a Recently Deleted folder for 30 days before being permanently removed. Recover a find from Settings → Recently Deleted, or delete it for good at any time. Delete a find from inside its detail screen with the new button at the bottom, or from a session list with a long-press on any find row. More improvements - A big accessibility pass (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, larger tap targets, and a coordinate nudge pad for fine-tuning find locations), plus fixes: session paths no longer develop gaps during faster walking, the sweep-area and path-direction overlays now work on the Map tab, photo capture dates are read correctly across time zones, and a rare find-thumbnail crash is resolved. Settings has been reorganised to be easier to navigate.

Improves recovery after an abrupt shutdown (battery runs out while using the app)

A pair of small reliability fixes: - The Import from Photos flow handles edits and deletions during an import more reliably. - The User Guide link on the Active tab welcome card now behaves consistently after the app has been closed and reopened.

Historic maps Overlay: scanned historical Ordnance Survey maps over the modern basemap on the Map tab and your active session view. Two layers ship: the OS Six-inch (1888–1913) for Victorian and Edwardian field detail, and the OS 1:25,000 Provisional (1937–1961) for the inter-war landscape. Old field boundaries, footpaths, and structures often hint at where things were lost. Map data digitised by the National Library of Scotland. Historic sites A new Show Historic Sites toggle drops pins on Scheduled Monuments and registered battlefields where you’re detecting, with name, type, period, and a “More Info” link to the official listing. UK coverage uses Historic England open data; everywhere else falls back to OpenStreetMap. Map place search: Jump to any village, town, postcode, or address with the new search field at the top of the Map tab. In-app User Guide: A new built-in manual covers the main features, with help icons next to fields that benefit from a quick explanation. Settings → Help → User Guide. Insights: A new Insights view in the Finds tab turns your accumulated finds into six charts: finds over time, category breakdown, metal type distribution, personal records, site comparison, and a period chart spanning ten broad archaeological periods. Tap a bar to see the underlying finds. Import finds from photos: Build a session retroactively from a day’s worth of GPS-tagged, time-stamped photos. The app reconstructs a path, clusters multi-angle shots of the same find, and lets you preview the result before committing. Choose your detecting region: A new welcome screen on first launch asks where you do most of your detecting and tailors the default category set accordingly — UK and US category sets ship in this release. Change it any time from Settings → Primary Region. Pro Access — Two subscription tiers: a monthly plan, and an annual plan with a 30-day free trial. The one-time Lifetime purchase has been retired. Improvements: Photos taken with the in-app camera now preserve their camera info, timestamp, and GPS location when saved to your Photos Library. Map pin accessibility for VoiceOver users. New “Steel” metal type. Various polish and stability fixes.

VoiceOver fixes: - Session replay time slider now announces the playback time as you scrub - Inactivity threshold sliders in Settings now announce minute values as you adjust them - Subscription banners no longer announce decorative icon names alongside their text

v1.2.0 - the biggest update since launch. SEE WHERE YOU’VE BEEN The “Map” tab now layers each of your previous session paths beneath the current view, fainter as they get older. Tap any path for a summary card and jump to that full session. Filter by date when you’ve visited a site multiple times. Hide the find pins to focus on path coverage, or show them to view density at a glance. GPX IMPORT Import your history from XP Go Terrain, other detecting apps, or any GPX track. Finds are automatically categorised where possible, and re-imports skip duplicates. SESSION REPLAY Every completed session has a scrubbable timeline. Play, pause, and cycle through at 1x / 2x / 5x / 10x speeds with a long-press on the play button. FREE TO TRY No subscription necessary to give My Finds a try. Create sessions and log up to 20 finds without a subscription. My Finds Pro, available with the monthly, annual, or lifetime subscriptions, unlocks unlimited finds. The monthly subscription price has also been reduced to 1.99. RICHER FINDS Optional Denomination, Ruler, Type, and Year fields on every find, with curated suggestion lists - British finds by default, plus US coinage via the “All Regions” toggle. More regions coming in future updates. Year soft-warns dates outside the named ruler’s reign so obvious typos don’t slip through. Search matches all new fields too. Pinch-to-zoom on any photo. Edits auto-save - no more lost changes when you switch fields. REGION-AWARE SESSIONS Sessions remember where they happened. Country inferred from GPS at session start, or picked manually; a small flag appears in the sessions list. Useful if you detect abroad, and the foundation for region-specific suggestion lists in future updates. US CATEGORIES (OPTIONAL) Open Settings, Regional Categories, and tap United States to add a US-specific taxonomy alongside your UK one - Colonial and Federal coinage, Civil War relics, Prehistoric Indigenous finds, and more. Safe to run repeatedly; nothing UK is replaced or touched. Useful for travelling detectorists, or for foreign coins turned up in UK soil. POLISH AND FIXES Find detail sheet redesigned with grouped Identity / Recording sections. Aspect ratio picker (1:1, 4:3, 16:9) right on the camera shutter. Trim Travel is now a scissors button on the session map, shown only when there’s travel worth trimming. Undo banners on swipe-delete and trim. New “Cartridge / Shotshell” subcategory for spent ammunition. New “Tombac” metal type. Detector and Program share one row on session detail. Resume-path-recording bug fixed. The “0m duration” bug from auto-end-then-resume is fixed; affected sessions can be recovered via Settings, Maintenance, Recompute Session Durations. Legacy photos auto-resized on first launch to reclaim storage space. Thanks for using My Finds.
