Geocaching Containers

A Geocache is usually a small container that contains a logbook for registering your find and small items like keychains, toys, Geocoins, trinkets, Travel Bugs, etc.

The small items are referred to as Geoswag and are really of little monetary value since the whole concept behind Geocaching is the fun in the actual hunting for and the finding of the cache.Geocaches commonly range in size from a military ammo box to a film canister (known as a micro-cache). They can be disguised and camouflaged but they cannot be buried.

Some of the different types of Geocaches include:

• Traditional Geocache – the most common type of Geocache 
• Multiple Geocache – where one Geoccache has the coordinates that will lead you to another Geocache 
• Virtual Geocache – which are Geocaches, that instead of a container, is usually a landmark or point of interest
• Puzzle Geocache -  which are Geocaches where the coordinates must be figured out by some kind of puzzle

Anyone can create and hide a Geocache and all Geocachers are welcomed to search and find them. When you hide a Geocache you post the coordinates on a Geocache listing site for other Geocachers to download to their GPS unit to help them in their search
