  • 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.

    I dont know how the youtube algorithm brought me to your channel, because i've never watched a scrap/picker video before. With that said, this channel has become one of my absolute favorites over the last six months or so. The commentary is straight up gold, reminds me of a old friend I worked with ages ago.

      Agreed lol, I have no idea how this ended up in front of me but I've been following for about 6 months now, Mike is hilarious and loves what he does . Even have my 4yr old sitting with me following along. She loves all the little noise he makes and all the voices he does lol.

    Can't believe the brand new things people throw out. That fan was quite the find! Also it looks like those trapeze lifts for patients go anywhere from $100 to 180. Good finds!

    My brother is an electrician, he brought two big fans off a job. We built big boxes to mount the fans in, then we put casters on them and wire over the open sides. We could roll them around to where we were working. They not only blow great, but the bugs can’t even land on you. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅
