Claim 4:
5. A method for marking a utility locate using paint, comprising:
generating, in response to a user actuation, deployment of marking paint from a paint marking stick;
in conjunction with the generating deployment of marking paint, triggering an AC magnetic field dipole signal from a trackable magnetic field dipole device operatively coupled to the paint marking stick;
receiving, at an associated buried utility locator, the AC magnetic field dipole signal;
determining, in the buried utility locator, a position of the trackable magnetic field dipole device relative to a reference point of the buried utility locator; and
storing, in a non-transient memory, the position of the trackable magnetic field dipole device relative to the reference point of the buried utility locator.
