Some are what's referred to as a traditional cache. Now this can be an ammo box filled with assorted goodies that you can either take and exchange, or leave. And in just about every geocache there's a small log book that you can log in, sign your name, and then log it in on the website.
You'll be amazed at all the different styles of geocaches there are out there and all the different hide techniques. Some are really difficult to locate.

Like check this out, here's a railing and the coordinates lead me right to it. So I know there's a geocache here somewhere. I've looked high and low and it's time to break out some tools. So using my little mirror I scooped around this railing and sure enough I found a small metal tube that has a log inside.
Some are definitely harder than others, so why not punch in your location and see what hidden treasure is in your neighborhood.
