Video: A geocacher stands in the woods next to a cluster of thin trees. Tied to one of the trees is a wooden box with the Geocaching logo. The cacher unlocks the front of the box and removes a metal chain and a magnet. To the right of the box is a flexible plastic tube tied to another tree and decorated like a snake. They move the magnet along the length of the tube to the snake’s mouth, revealing a magnetic geocache container.

Video: A geocacher unlocks the protective casing for this geocache. They grab a floppy disk displayed at the front, place it in the appropriate slot, and a classic cassette tape unexpectedly pops out of the top of the cache. As the cacher inserts the cassette into the appropriate place, a VHS tape pops out of another compartment, which the cacher places into the final insert, releasing the logbook container from its hiding spot.
