If you want the EXACT compass he is wearing you can't get it anywhere because it was not a necklace originally and it was purchased many many years ago (when Josh Gates was a child). The age of it alone would keep you from finding the exact one no doubt.

But if you were able to find the exact compass he has you'd find it was not originally made as a necklace with a bail. He put that on later. There's a video on YouTube with him talking about it (on a radio call in show) and there are numerous photos of it in the video. You can see he added a bail to it later since the earlier photos show no bail (just the compass tied to a hemp rope) and in later photos you see a bail attached to make it hang neater.

In the video he does not mention the manufacturer name or the exact place it was purchased - it was a gift from his mother when he was young is really all you find out about it's origin.

There's so much buzz about it on the net you'd think he'd create one (a replica) and sell it. I know I would if I were him - make money off his fame. But maybe he's not allowed to do that for contract reasons.

You can get a different one, just search for compass necklace on the net and you'll find many to choose from.
