Have you ever found a cache that was not what it seemed?⁣⁣ 😲

Video: The video montage showcases unique geocache containers. The first is a magnetized metal sign "H1" with a flip-over log sheet. The second is a container hidden inside a hollowed-out bollard with a removable lid. The third is a microcache raised from a fence pole by pulling a string attached to a fake bolt. The final cache is hidden in the base of a removable wooden fence post.

‘Witch’ geocache has cast a spell on you?

Video by team_Stellema_Geocaching.

Video: A geocacher approaches a metal box on a brick wall. They lift the side of the box to reveal a latch locking the top of a broomstick in place. They pull the broomstick handle out of the box and lift it up. The base of the broomstick is connected to a fake gravel floor. When lifted, it reveals a box containing the cache.

Video: A group of geocachers is gathered in front of a camera, acting shocked and surprised. The video cuts between their reactions and a clip of a geocaching log container being shown to the camera, then being closed, and placed back in its hiding spot.

Video: The video pans across an urban street, focusing on a geocacher standing on the sidewalk. They point up to a street sign above them, then reach up to remove a geocache container as the camera zooms in. They hold the geocache up, point to it, and smile at the camera.
