I used too. in the early 1970's I bought a Compass RM6 - I really liked it.
Well, with the manufacturing of newer and newer metal detectors, and with the advent of time, there are fewer and fewer of us that are even interested in the older metal detectors. Now in a fast changing world, that is not very good either... But I am a
person who does not bend, and who does not bend, and who does not change either. And LUKED, sorry to hear you were burned, and that you lost it. They get away with it while living, then they leave the earth, and it comes and bites them finally there in the spiritual world. So forgive, forgive, and do what I do, just move on an place it in HIS HANDS. HE will take care of it for you. And thanks for posting TINHORN3, I am a lover of Compass Electronics older machines as well. Have a very very Merry Christmas, and may your NEW YEAR be far greater then it is out there today! Bless everyone in this forum!!!!!!
Merry Christmas and to all a NEW YEAR!!! Yeah, I know it is a bit early now, but this way I did not forget it...

At least there were two responses. And I am sorry I did not notice I repeated some lines in that answer posting.
Again, Merry Christmas and a Happier NEW YEAR next year!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I hope it is a better NEW YEAR, and
a nicer one then this year was out there...

The Compass X80, was the machine that changed the electronics of the Compass X70, over into the 100% newer PHASE SHIFT CIRCUITRY, so it went deeper into the PHASE SHIFT ideas. It worked very well in its day, for those who liked PHASE SHIFT DISCRIMINATION.
I myself am old school, am into the earlier circuits, not into Phase Shift myself. The Compass X100, married all of the different kinds of circuits, into one very good machine. It has both TR and VLF in it, and the meter runs Discrimination results, no mater which circuits one selects. The only negative on it was it was heavier then. Other than the weight, it was the ROLLS ROYCE of metal detector designs. I will attach an enhanced technical adv from the past. How did you like your X80 unit? I never owned an X80 myself.

I am a Compass detector machine lover myself. I did not have a RM6, but have other Compass machines.
I found more good targets, with Compass metal detectors, then I ever did with any other brand name units.

I really liked the switch from all metals to no iron. It found only metal like copper, etc

I think, alot of us "more mature" folks, remember starting detecting ( at least ) in the late 70's, or 80's. Targets were much easier to locate , than these days. Finding nice Merc's was alot easier & expected. Dang, these days would be pretty exciting. I really would like a another new machine, ( as some know, leaning toward Legend. ) Hobby, or not, still don't want to spend alot to find very little. God Bless All, Happy New Year.

I like finding relics as well as finding old coins and old jewelry. I like seeing the past come alive when I dig up an old target. Yes, as more and more modern trash, falls and lays upon the ground, less and less of the older more interesting targets, are found. I tend
to search slower, more methodically, and while I find less, I still pull up targets from the very distant past. Just less and less of them now as I guess we are eliminating the deeper target layer...I tend to only dig up faint target sounds you see...

Well here we are, we who are older machine users, nearing another new year. Got the kids coming here today, some already here, is lots of fun, with them and the grand kids. So Wishing all a Happy New YEAR, and be back later in 2024. I am an HISTORIAN, and a WRITER as well, so if anyone is searching for any thing in relation to the past, let me know, I do not have everything, but I do have a heck of a lot, in my storage material.
Again, I am "old school", not into the newer "phase searching" models of detectors, but into the older past machines, with VLF, TR, and TR SEARCHING CIRCUITS in them, not into the newer machines, they just do not find the older targets like I am familiar with finding. I still find old targets today, below the trash level itself, and the newer machines, carried by current users, see ,e down on my knees digging up older targets, and come to see what I am finding. I show them, they walk along with me, when I hit an older target, they swing over it, tell me "nothing there", I say nothing, go down, dig it up, they are a bit baffled, and keep this up, and finallly want to know why mine finds it, but there's does not respond. I tell them why, and they keep me busy with their checking my targets. You see, I use an DEEPER TARGET ENHANCEMENT unit, use it to find smaller deeper targets and that is all I am going to disclose right now... You see, I got one, they do not have one, and they knew it... Well on with my posting...
Now not bad mouthing them, as there are many who love the newer machines, it is just that I am not one of them into the newer metal detectors myself. I am not into the newer cars either, I still drive vehicles with front and rear bumpers, as I like to have more protection surround myself when I go out on the highway... Now I know the newer vehicles get better gas mileage, but I like to have more metal TO PEDAL myself...
