Default Got A Basketball Jones
... not really, but I did hunt a basketball court today. It's been two weeks since I've been able to hunt, so I was itching to go. Decided to check out a basketball court near a tot lot I had hunted. Pleanty of pull tabs, bottle tops, canslaw, foil and other rubbish ... oh and a butterfly! Number 10 this year. I was hoping for some B-ball Bling, but alas, I didn't find any. There was some clad and kids junk jewelry and a small "old timer" pocket knife. Found a similar Shrade pocket knife last month. Did I mention I found ANOTHER butterfly. Here's todays loot.
