Though it would be much easier to use a modern-day compass, you could use an ancient Chinese compass if you have a working one. Most compasses from ancient China would have had to be well preserved to work. Maybe it does work, but it would probably be inaccurate because of it's age. If it is in complete working order (you could probably go to a well reviewed pawn shop to tell if it works or is accurate) then yes, you could still use it. Not many people do, though. You could buy some that supposedly work on E-Bay for $700. YIKES!
