You make your own Nick;

Run Google Earth
Centre the screen where you want the Placemark to be I.e. The find spot of a coin say (use zoom if necessary)
Click on the Add Placemark icon in the GE top toolbar, this opens a 'New Placemark' box
Give it a name like 'Hammered Lizzy Sixpence' and click on ok
GE will put the placemark on the screen centred on the spot above

For more info see the Google Earth section under 'Mapping' on UKDN if you want to record your find spots using GE

Can anybody play them or is it for your own use only?

You can have them for your own use Dave, the waypoint marker is stored in a .kml file which you can email to your friends. If they have Google Earth installed and click on it, it will run their google Earth, go to the waypoint spot and if they click on the marker show and run the Youtube Video.

I tried adding a .kml file below but it won't let me add a .kml extension.
