Well truely it all depends on what type of cache it is. Some are micro caches so look for a small container of some sort, some are large or medium caches so you are looking for a bigger container. Inside the container will be trinkets and a log book to sign marking you being there. If you take a trinket you MUST leave one in its place. That is the way it works.
Most the caches have clues and what not to help you find the cache. Do a filter for ones in your area and then find the easiest ones to start with to build up your geocache skills, then progress to harder ones.
You have to kind of think outside of the box when geocaching. It is helpful to have the clues with you to refer to also.
Hopefully this helps. I still remember my first. I was in the this forest found a coke can convertered into a storage container with lid. The owner of the cache cut the top off a soda can, and shoved a plastic bottle into it, and then formed the top of the soda can over the top of the plastic bottle lid and it looked just like a soda can again.
