Questions about your detector
Answers about your model, not in general
Drusilla knows which detector you own, because it reads it from your profile. Ask how to discriminate iron and it explains the settings of your machine, with the right values.
WhatsApp · Telegram
Your searching assistant, inside the chats you already use
Drusilla does not live only inside the app: it is the first and only metal detecting assistant in the world you can use entirely from WhatsApp and Telegram. Same account, same detector, same answers. Just write.
Three steps to switch it on
Linking always starts in the app, once. From then on you write wherever you prefer.
1Open Chat channels
In the app you find it under Profile → Chat channels. If you have not linked anything yet, an invitation also appears on the home screen.
2Pick your channel
Tap START NOW on WhatsApp or Telegram: the chat opens with the activation message ready. All you do is send it.
3Done
Drusilla replies and the channel shows as active. You can unlink it whenever you like, from the same screen.
What you can ask
The same things you ask in the app. No commands to learn: write the way you would talk to a more experienced mate.
Soil analysis
Send a location, get the ground
Share your location from the chat attachments, or paste a Google Maps link. Drusilla asks what you want to know about that spot and reads the soil composition from geological databases.
The soil profile
What ground awaits you, before you set off
Soil type, difficulty and mineralisation, with what they mean for your search. It is a starting estimate from geological data, always to be checked with a test on site.
Restricted zones
Know beforehand if that spot is protected
On the same spot you can ask about protections listed in public databases: archaeological areas, parks, landscape restrictions. An informative indication, which does not replace checking with the competent authorities.
Field assistance · PRO
While you still have the spade in your hand
You are out searching and the detector is playing up. Describe the signal and Drusilla gives you steps to try right away, for your model. It is the feature subscribers use most in the field.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need the app to use Drusilla on WhatsApp?
- Yes, but only once: linking your account to your number starts in the app. After that you can write straight in the chat without opening it.
- Is it a cut-down version of the assistant?
- No. In the chat you get the same services as in the app: detector questions, soil analysis, restricted zones, and for PRO members tailor-made programs and field assistance.
- Do I have to learn commands?
- No. Write in plain language and Drusilla works out what you need. If you send a location or a Google Maps link, it asks whether you want the soil analysis or the restriction check.
- How much does it cost?
- Nothing: the chat channels are included in your account, free ones too. A PRO subscription adds tailor-made programs in the chat, field assistance and higher limits.
- Can I unlink the channel?
- Yes, at any time, from Profile → Chat channels in the app. You can also link it again later, or move it to another number.
- Are my conversations safe?
- Messages travel through WhatsApp (Meta) or Telegram under those services’ terms, and Drusilla handles them like those in the app. The details are in the privacy policy.
