WHY SCOUT EXISTS

The Goal Isn't Just
Finding Gold.

Finding gold is exciting. Understanding why you found it is what changes the next trip.

That's what Scout is here to help you do.
THE PHILOSOPHY

Every Trip
Should Teach You Something.

A day with no gold is not wasted effort.

Every hike teaches something. Every sample tells a story. Every trip adds knowledge you'll use on the next one.

Gold is the reward. Learning is how you get there.
FIELD INTELLIGENCE

More Than a Map

Scout brings the information you use before, during, and after a prospecting trip into one place.

01

Explore the Ground

Use interactive maps and multiple layers to investigate an area before you leave home and while you're in the field.

02

Build Your Own Field Record

Save locations, field notes, photos, prospect holes, quartz veins, interesting geology, gold indicators, and the places you want to inspect again.

03

Learn What You're Seeing

Connect geology, prospecting techniques, terrain, weather, and field observations so each trip adds to what you know.

BUILT FOR THE FIELD

Spend Less Time
Fighting Technology.

Whether you're heading into the field for the first time or you've spent years chasing yellow metal, Scout is meant to make the tools useful without making the tools the adventure.

Every feature has to answer one question:

Does this help someone become a better prospector?
01Plan trips before you leave home
02Explore with detailed maps
03Learn geology and prospecting techniques
04Save locations and discoveries
05Record notes that matter
06Review what worked — and what didn't
07Make the next outing more informed
30+ YEARS IN THE FIELD
WHY IT WAS BUILT

Scout Wasn't Designed in a Boardroom.

It was created by someone who has spent more than 30 years hiking washes, fording streams, studying geology, researching old mining districts, digging plenty of empty holes, and celebrating the occasional nugget.

The goal has never been to replace experience.

The goal is to help you build it faster.

We Don't Promise Gold.
We Promise “Stop and Inspect.”
