Trust & Transparency

Platform classification: PinPoint Treasure is an outdoor research tool for treasure hunters, metal detectorists, and historical researchers. Subscriptions ($0–$19.99/month) provide access to research tools — nothing more.

What the platform is: an outdoor research tool powered by USGS, BLM, NRHP, and other government databases; AI that cites verifiable data sources; a standard SaaS subscription with cancel-anytime billing; comparable in category to onX Hunt, Gaia GPS, and Google Earth Pro; built by treasure hunters for treasure hunters.

What the platform is not: not a cryptocurrency, trading, or financial platform; no guaranteed-return or investment promises; no withdrawal system and no held user funds; not affiliated with any crypto "treasure" platforms; no MLM, referral schemes, or pay-to-earn mechanics; no deposits, account balances, or financial products.

Government and academic data sources: USGS 3DEP LiDAR (1-meter terrain elevation), OpenTopography (NSF-funded high-resolution topographic portal), the Bureau of Land Management (federal land status, mining claims, PLSS boundaries), the National Register of Historic Places, Macrostrat (UW-Madison geological formation and stratigraphy database), the USGS Mineral Resources Data System (MRDS), NASA GIBS satellite imagery, and ESA Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery.

Pricing is published openly: Free at $0/month includes 3 AI queries per day with basic maps and read-only access to the legends database. Pro at $9.99/month includes unlimited AI, full LiDAR, cipher engine, OCR, advanced maps, and historical archives. Field Pro at $19.99/month adds GPR, multi-sensor anomaly visualization, and an offline field data cache.

Billing: all subscriptions are standard SaaS billed via Stripe. Cancel anytime through the customer portal. No hidden fees, no lock-in, no financial component.
