VeldScan is a satellite scan app for Android: draw a plot, run the scan, and get ranked ground-anomaly candidates from cooperating remote-sensing layers — before you walk the field.
Orbit sensors do not X-ray the soil. A useful satellite scan looks for surface signatures that buried structures or soil change can leave: vegetation stress, moisture contrast, radar roughness, thermal difference, and micro-relief.
Vegetation / multispectral — crop marks and soil exposure patterns
Radar — surface texture even under cloud
Thermal — local warm/cool patches vs neighbours
Relief — slope and micro-terrain context
Metal / mineral (SWIR) — spectral alteration candidates for detector checks
Who uses satellite scanning with VeldScan
Prospectors narrowing hectares before metal-detecting
Field surveyors who want an honest priority map, not a treasure promise
How to run a scan
Install VeldScan from Google Play and sign in.
Draw a zone (about 10×10 m up to 120×120 m).
Spend one credit and wait while the server pulls and fuses the layers (usually 1–2 minutes).
Review pins and reports, then verify on site with your own instruments.
Honest limits
Results are candidate anomalies — indicators ranked by how layers agree. They are not legal permission, not a guarantee, and not a substitute for a metal detector or GPR.
