+Some multi-caches have a container, tag, magnet, or other object at each stage. Each stage but the final one holds information (e.g., coordinates) that you need to find the final container.
 Other multi-caches (e.g., offset caches) use "virtual" stages without containers (like [[virtual cache]]s). The location of the final stage is determined from information found on existing objects (e.g., monuments, plaques, public art).
