2 hour hunt after work

willie d · May 9, 2009

My wife and daughter went with friends to Busch Gardens for the day. So after I finished work, I figured I'd take advantage of the last couple hours of daylight. I went to a little tot lot close to home. It had been about 5 months or so since my last visit. Plenty of time to get replenished. Finds were nothing spectacular: 1q, 7d, 3n, 21p and a token. I found an identical token last time here. I did get a little scare with a "first". I found my first syringe, at least the sharp, dangerous part of a syringe. It was sitting right on top of the wood chips under the playground equipment. Fortunately, I spotted it with my eyes and not my gloved hand. Other than that I had a really nice hunt. :icon_sunny:

Yeah, I thought it was ironic finding a anti drug token and drug paraphenalia in the same hunt.

Thanks for looking.

It sure has been, perfect water hunting weather. :icon_pirat:

My Tiger Shark is on its way back to Tesoro for repairs, so tot lots with plenty of shade will probably be my hunting grounds for the time being.

Good hearing from you Ruth. HH

You just never know what you'll find at a Tot-Lot. At least you got rid of that so no kid got to it... :thumbsup:

Glad you got out...

Great finds Willie! That needle is kind of scary though. It takes a special glove to stop those, which most of us do not wear. Just shows the caution we must use out there to enjoy this great hobby. :thumbsup:

all that clad adds up... :thumbsup:

Props to you for not just seeing the needle and moving on but removing it from the tot lot, I can't imagine one of my kids stepping that thing!! For those anti-MD that's a great thing for show and tell... :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the replies everybody. It's safe to say finding the needle was definitely a wake up call. As a father, there was no way I could've possibly left it there for a kid to find.

HH and good luck out there.
