Description
Mudlark Maps is a digital treasure map for anyone drawn to the history and relics that lie beneath our feet. It maps thousands of documented relic-hunting and rockhounding sites around the world, each one with evidence tiers, access and legal rules, historic map overlays, tide timing, and the finds you can expect to uncover. And it lets you document every discovery you make on a private treasure map of your own, so your collection finally carries its story, not just its shine.

Could you build this?
Partial The map interface and UI layers are straightforward to vibe-code, but curating the specialized geospatial database of legal access rules, historic map georeferencing, and documented relic sites is a heavy data compilation task.
What it would actually take: Building a real product requires a GIS stack (Mapbox/PostGIS) combined with georeferenced historical cartography layers, nautical/tide API integrations, and local heritage legal boundary data. The primary obstacle is gathering, cleaning, and continuously validating global legal access frameworks and historical site boundaries. It requires geospatial data analysts and partnerships with archaeological or local land registry databases.
