About the creator
Hi, I'm Jordan.
I started gold prospecting in the late 1990s, out on the creeks with my dad. It stuck. In 2017 I picked up my first metal detector and put hundreds and hundreds of hours on it. Two hobbies, one obsession: finding things that have been waiting in the dirt a long time.
There's nothing like pulling your first piece of gold out of black sand, or lifting a relic out of an old farmstead. That feeling never gets old — and I want more people to feel it.
My vision with Gold Prospector
I want to build the best American-made prospecting app there is, and the biggest community of prospectors and detectorists anywhere, all in one place. The tools get you to the gold faster. The community is where it gets real — swapping finds and learning from people who've been at it longer, without the algorithms and ads that wrecked that everywhere else.
I'm building it with the community in mind, and any feedback is welcome. I've got a lot more ideas on the way — and I look forward to hearing yours too.
