Do you know how to use a compass?

Oh yeah, I just checked the NOAA site, and it said the declination for Westminster was around 9 degrees. Not the 14 from that 1964 figure I saw earlier.


EDIT: I've decided that I don't like this compass very much and will take it back tomorrow. I don't like how you can't adjust the declination, as I already mentioned. Also, the needle is very fat and I have a very difficult time trying to add the 9 degrees onto this thing the same way every time. I can sit in a chair, set up the compass to show me my bearing. Then, spin it around in a circle, or move the compass, then I can't seem to get the same bearing again. I'll be off at least two degrees. I think I'll go look at their selection a little closer since I know a little bit more what to look for this time. The store I went to had a few of the metal cased military style kind like I posted.

Thanks for all the input so far from everyone here.
