A geocacher standing off to the side begins to pour water in the top of the post; as they do, a container painted to resemble the post begins to float up towards the opening. The geocacher picks up the container by its lid and shows it off to the camera, revealing a plastic geocache container decorated with a nuclear radiation symbol.
