Metal detecting on a lost island
Sweep the sand. Chase the signal. Dig up buried treasure — and cash out real XRP.
The loop
A real metal detector, faithfully simulated. Every find is buried by the server — the game never tells your client what's down there, so the only way to know is to dig.
Swing your coil low and slow. The detector beeps faster and higher as you close in — up to 8 beeps a second and a two-tone chirp when you lock on. Better coils pre-flag junk so you skip the trash.
Stand still, break ground, and unearth what's below. Depth means value — a bottle cap sits near the surface, a legendary crown hides 60cm down. Upgrade your shovel to dig in as little as 1.5 seconds.
Coins, rings, relics and treasure land in your finds log. In Casual they credit your XRP balance instantly. Cash out to any XRP address whenever you like.
One island, two vibes
Same island, same buried treasure — your account, balance and gear carry across both modes. Switch whenever the mood takes you.
Relaxed beachcombing with zero threats. Finds credit your XRP balance the instant you dig them up. First or third person, at your own pace.
First-person, armed and dangerous. Carry your finds at your own risk and stash them at base to keep them. Die, and you drop everything unstashed for rivals to loot.
The finds
26 buried treasures across five rarity tiers. Commons turn up 16× more often than legendaries — and the deepest, rarest finds pay out the biggest.
Each biome hides its own relics — musket balls and temple amulets in the jungle, arrowheads and a miner's pickaxe in the mountains, doubloons and diamond rings along the beach.
The headline feature
Every find has a value in XRP, settled on the XRP Ledger. This isn't points — it's a real balance you can deposit to, dig up, and withdraw to any XRP address.
Detectorist runs on XRPL testnet by default; live mainnet play is gated behind explicit opt-in. Play money makes it safe to learn the ropes.
Gear up
Spend what you dig up on detectors that reach deeper and shovels that dig faster. No grind walls — pure upgrade path, funded by your finds.
🔫 Competitive
In Competitive mode the treasure is only half the game. It's a fully server-authoritative shooter — 100 HP, hitscan gunplay, and rivals who want the loot you're carrying.
Pistols, revolvers, rifles & bolt-action snipers
Cross the island fast — or use it as cover
Use the terrain, race the looters
Live & social
One shared, living world per mode. See other detectorists roaming the island in real time, hear them when they're close, and watch the great finds roll in worldwide.
Always something to chase
Progression that resets and rewards that don't. Cosmetics you'll never buy any other way, and live events with a real XRP pool on the line.

Pay into a shared pool, then dig against the clock. Every find you unearth adds its value to your score — the top three split the pot.
Fresh objectives every day and week, plus long-haul milestones that track your whole career on the island.
A 512-metre procedurally-generated island — the same seed for every player. Comb the beach, push into the jungle, or climb the snow-capped mountains, each hiding its own treasures.
No install, no download — just open it. A dedicated touch build brings competitive treasure combat to your phone, joystick and fire button included.
No passwords. Drop in your email, punch in the six-digit code, and you're on the island. New diggers start with free gear, starter ammo and a little XRP to get going.
A hand-tuned WebGL world bathed in warm light — teal water, soft shadows and drifting fog. Runs smooth, looks gorgeous.
Every beep is synthesised in real time — the rising, quickening tone as you home in on a target is the whole thrill of the hunt, done right.
Name colours, sparkling dig effects and gun finishes are pure vanity. Every advantage on the island is earned by digging, not buying.
The island is waiting
