  • Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

    In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur. I prowl the city streets in search of dumpster loot, curbside treasures & scrap metal as well as scour the river bottoms for lost valuables during the summer months when I can scrounge up enough money for gas. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

      I wonder with all the time he puts in AFTER he gets all of this back to his garage and then takes it apart and sorts it, if he makes anything, except for the great videos he does. Another interesting YT channel is derrickwith2rs as he repairs w/d and he shows how many of them only have minor problems, but people junk them.

    I have been going through your dumpster diving Playlist over this last year. Thank you for the content and sharing your lives you have made an incredible impact on me and I have also learned so many things from you. To hear you say the scavenger community is more like family def made me cry ngl. Also sending angel loves to Miss Selma Belma as you call her. I too have lost many fur babies and it never gets easy. Thank you again for being YOU and being AWESOME. You really have changed my life

    They need to have a special Olympics for dumpster divers. Events could be tossing finds into the back of a truck, stripping wire, sorting metals, dismounting dumpsters, evading guards or store employees, etc.

    Mike, watching, learning, and really enjoying your escapades. I was in hospital twice, a day and 1/2 between. Went in end of July finally out Sept 3rd. Had my shots for covid, very careful the whole time BUT I got covid while in the hospital. When cane home could not stand or walk, barely making it to bathroom. Docs.nurses dropped off some bottled water, county for elderly drop off 2 grocery bags of things I could open to eat while they hooked me up for meals on wheel...they are a life saver. Never expected something like this..only child passed, originally from Ohiomoved here to help here but sadly had a stroke and 46 days later she was gone. Died in my arms. Her husband no help for her or anybody. Fell about week after home broke sternum bone right in middle of chest hitting a piece of furniture, barely got up, to bed painful and lay down thought I was loosing it. Just pain. To look for positive, they found the begin spot of cancer. Later operate 1 day op.and then radiation. Found this youtubes...used phone for entertainment as my TV went out just died. So phone has been a blessing. You have given me some good laughs. Has got me thru as no family and live by self. All associate in Ohio, barely know anyone here. But I am making in slowly, still can not stand long or walk far, but about every 7bdays make it to a store one day then next to another..then have to regroup washed out..but I am making it and people like you have really helped me so thank you Mike, it is really appreciated.

    @beverlycunningham4364 Před 2 lety

    Mike! It's NOT about "filling the truck up"!!! It's the "adventure"! It's the adrenaline rush from the unknown finds. It's the " ride along" via social media...its the "wishing I was at bodied to do what you do"!
    It's the recess from depression!
    We love you

    I get a lot of ventilators from a medical place. Last week I got 9 of them. They have 2 stainless steel cylinders in them some brass pieces, some copper tubing, some wire and also aluminum in them. I get a lot of wheelchairs, hospital beds , walkers and oxygen carts. I got 13 of them out of their dumpster the other day. I don't know why they throw them away. They are all brand new.
