- Icon Descriptions, or Types of Caches
-
 Traditional
Cache
This is the original cache type consisting, at a bare minimum, a container
and a log book. Normally you'll find a Tupperware container, ammo box, or
bucket filled with goodies, or smaller container ("micro cache") too small
to contain items except for a log book. The coordinates listed on the
traditional cache page are the exact location for the cache.
The general rule of thumb is, "If you take an item, leave an item, and write
in the logbook." Some caches are themed, so make sure to read the
description before going on a hunt.
-
 Multi-Cache
(Offset Cache)
A multi-cache ("multiple") involves two or more locations, the final
location being a physical container. There are many variations, but most
multi-caches have a hint to find the second cache, and the second cache has
hints to the third, and so on. An offset cache (where you go to a location
and get hints to the actual cache) is considered a multi-cache. Go to
www.geocaching.com for hints.
 Mystery
or Puzzle Caches
The "catch-all" of cache types, this form of cache can involve complicated
puzzles you will first need to solve to determine the coordinates. Due to
the increasing creativity of Geocaching this becomes the staging ground for
new and unique challenges. Go to
www.geochaching.com for hints.
