Linus' blackberry basket in Stardew Valley can be found in the Backwoods area, which is located directly to the left of the Bus Stop. To reach it, exit your farm on the east side and walk toward the bus stop, then instead of boarding the bus, continue left along the road until you enter the Backwoods. The basket is usually near some bushes on the north side of the road, close to the entrance of the bus tunnel
. The basket is brownish and can blend into the surroundings, making it a bit hard to spot. It is located near the bushes by the tunnel entrance in the Backwoods
. After finding the basket, you need to return it to Linus, who is typically found near his tent in the mountains, just past Robin's house. Returning the basket increases your friendship with Linus by one heart, though it does not provide a monetary reward
