This will make you wish that you paid attention in high school science class.
Being a Navy vet, I have been wanting to do this cache for quite some time. I highly recommend reading the hint as it has the rest of the clues needed to find this cache (finding GZ and having the cache in hand may prove more daunting than you think)!
You will need to be quick on the grab, otherwise this might just slip through your fingers. Please place back as you found it and make sure the cap is on snug to keep water out:)
Density
If the weight of an object is less than the weight of the displaced fluid when fully submerged, then the object has an average density that is less than the fluid and has a buoyancy that is greater than its own weight. If the fluid has a surface, such as water in a lake or the sea, the object will float at a level where it displaces the same weight of fluid as the weight of the object. If the object is immersed in the fluid, such as a submerged submarine or air in a balloon, it will tend to rise. If the object has exactly the same density as the fluid, then its buoyancy equals its weight. It will remain submerged in the fluid, but it will neither sink nor float. An object with a higher average density than the fluid has less buoyancy than weight and it will sink. A ship will float even though it may be made of steel (which is much denser than water), because it encloses a volume of air (which is much less dense than water), and the resulting shape has an average density less than that of the water.
