From secret compartments to clever mechanisms, every cache has its own surprise. Which reveal would you want to find first?

Video by giacaches.

Video: This video shows a compilation of geocache finds. A geocacher lifts the cap from a post to display a cache, pulls a wooden sword to unlock a miniature castle, connects a battery to lower a cache container from a tiny house, opens a hidden log from a pile of wood, and pulls a long chain from a fence post to uncover the final cache.

How long do you search before you start second-guessing yourself?

Video by captain_cookie.

Video: A geocacher examines four large metal bolts attached to a wooden pole. They check each bolt one by one. The fourth and final bolt has a hollow center containing a tiny rolled-up log sheet.

What’s your geocaching motto?

Video by rock_chalk. 

Video: A geocacher approaches a vertical pipe attached to a fencepost. The pipe has two outlets, one at the very top and one that sticks out diagonally from the middle of the pipe. The geocacher first removes the lid from the diagonal pipe, but there is nothing inside. They remove the lid from the top and find a magnet tool on a rope. They use the magnet on the diagonal pipe and pull out a Dory toy with a bison tube attached.

🚀 Catch it if you cache! 🚀 Pull the spring 🚀 Catch it if you cache! 🚀

Pull the spring and watch the cache container fly. This geocacher needed 3 takes to catch it. How many would you need? 👀

Video by @hullsome_.

Video: A geocacher examines a vertical PVC pipe mounted between a tree and a building. They pull the spring-loaded mechanism at the bottom, causing the cache container to shoot out of the top. After missing it during the first two takes, the geocacher successfully catches the geocache on the third.
