Find Points

Craiggold · Post by **Craiggold** » Sat Aug 02, 2014 9:16 am

Does anybody know if you are able to edit the find point when you create it directly on the CTX. The GPS element element is great, but it would be great to directly edit that point as you record it rather than in the software later. Anyone help? [emoji106]

i dont think so but ive never tried too, why would you want to waste time editing when you should be hunting

Its not so much wasting time, I just wanted to stick in a quick note so that it makes a bit more sense to me later. Just a question, if you dont know then thats fine.

Ive wondered the same, so far I have not been able to do it, it just seems to number them, its only when you transfer them to the computer that you actually get to name etc.

Exactly, I only want to stick in a quick "coin" or "lead" not war and peace

Shhhhhhh! don't reveal the secret of the 6", out with it today for a couple of hours, and here's the most amazing part, it was on dirt not sand!!!!!! Can you believe it?! Actually got myself a dirt permission.

Sorted.

I have adopted a similar thing, I labelled the front of a storage box and do the same, great tip though, thank you

And thanks Fubar, it's just about 1 acre, and I'm really chuffed with it! Hopefully more will come, I don't ask for much

yep cant edit in machine but can use Xchange prog and then copy back if you want to go back and re-visit find area.

I do the same as others bag up the find and mark 001. 002 etc...then quickly move on to find more gold and hoards

I have approached the problem from a different angle, I have numbered coin pouches that I use to correspond with the auto generated find points created in the CTX, great for coins, but not practical for artefacts
