If you have accidentally stumbled across a geocache, please leave it exactly where it is. Chances are it has not been lost and anyone who wants to find it will track it down themselves. If you want to check that the cache is in the right place, you can find the serial number (usually found on the container or the logbook), look it up on the geocaching website and contact the cache owner. If you have found the cache on purpose, sign the log book and put it back, then log your find on the geocaching website.
How do you make a smiley face appear on your geocache map?

Is it OK to visit a single geocache more than once?
By all means, yes. You may want to revisit a geocache to share it with a friend, or to enjoy a view or location. You may want to revisit a geocache to drop of a travel bug or geocoin (or to retrieve one to help it on it's journey.) Now, if you are logging a find of a geocache on a website, your first visit when you sign the logbook should be logged as a "find" (or whatever term your geocaching listing site uses.) Subsequent visits should not be logged as a find. Perhaps you would log a "note" to record your visit or your travel bug/geocoin movements. It's important on secondary (or more) visits to a geocache to use care and stealth in retreiving the cache. You will want to ensure that you don't reveal the cache's location to non-players who may muggle the cache. I think you will find the most cache owners welcome many visits to their cache. It shows that you appreciate the work they put into creating their cache.
