This app is built around the ARCHI database which is the world's most comprehensive online database of worldwide archaeological, historic and cultutural sites, metal detecting and treasure hunting findspots, archaeological digs and other sites of cultural and historic interest.

If you love archaeology, ancient history, metal detecting, field walking, hiking or simply just want to find out the ancient history of your area, then the app is probably what you have been looking for.

When you subscribe to the full service, the app will be activated so that once it has located the sites you are interested in it will link to your device’s Sat/Nav and Satellite Navigation system (GPS system) and provide you with a route to travel to these sites.

There are nearly 200,000 British Archaeological, Historic & Cultural Sites on the database plus thousands of sites from all around the world.

The app is just a prototype at the moment, so please excuse any teething problems, but be assured we are working on them.

The ARCHI diggR app is the World's first App which allows you to Dig Deep into Data and Locate and Navigate to more than 200,000 British and Worldwide archaeological, historical, cultural and sites of natural beauty.
