A traditional cache is the basic type of geocache.
Description
"This is the original cache type consisting, at a bare minimum, a container and a log book. Normally you'll find a tupperware container, ammo box, or bucket filled with goodies, or smaller container ('micro cache') too small to contain items except for a log sheet. The coordinates listed on the traditional cache page are the exact location for the cache.
The general rule of thumb is, 'If you take an item, leave an item, and write in the logbook.' Some caches are themed, so make sure to read the description before going on a hunt."[1]
For most geocacher's, the majority of their finds will be traditional caches. Despite their simplicity in nature, traditional caches allow a lot of room for variation in size, cache design, and placement, allowing for both easy and challenging hides.
