Compass
From what I have read it is not a detector. It supposed to send a charge into the ground to make targets have more sensitivity for your detector.

Its a funny product because they do work if the ground is damp BUT what it works best for is any ferrous thats around. So on a "busy" site with lots of iron the iron signal is improved so much that the good items get missed due to increased target masking.

I thought it was a Compass product in one of their "bad" periods. It was certainly imported into the U.K. by the Compass distributor of the time.
