- 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!

I have never commented on a Utube channel previously however you dedication and quick wit comments have always made your videos quite enjoyabe. Thank you for the entertainment and knowledge transfer.
Hey Mike those sensors sell on ebay. As for the led light fixtures they replace them with brighter ones that can dim or be full power. Shipping supplies aren't cheap. The gum tape can be resold to others. I use those labels for other things.
Some of the led light fixtures run on 12 VDC good to use in trailers. As for those stainless steel there are machine shops that use them and pay $€£ foe them.
Nice haul and have a good day.
Jump into dumpsters in a single bound!!! You’re our scrap hero Mike!
Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike....Guess what is in the dumpster? Lights! We at going to start calling you the light man. Great work.
Congrats for the new home good man
The happy home owner back in action!
Each time you hit one of the dumpsters with your fist I’m afraid you’re going to pull back a broken hand!
When you say everyone get comfortable, I know that you’ve found a lot of lights. Lol. But is there Anyone else out there who would like to see the Entire video. Without so much editing ?? I LOVE your videos but I also LOVED them when you included everything in them. Take Care Mike and keep moving along. ♥️♥️🇨🇦

Those little yellow things are H2s monitors. Used by chemical and oil refinery workers, usually handed out at the start of a project or depending on the Unit they're working in. If the workers lose them, they usually deduct $250 from their pay. They ain't cheap. Great vids Mike and congrats on your new house.
I couldnt count how many times my h2s monitor has scared the crap out of me when its beeped. Nine times out of ten it’s because of low batteries.
Not cheap, but disposable. They last 24 months once activated, then they're trash.
@@boogerhooks I used to save them after the projects were done and sell them for $50 bucks to guys who lost theirs or forgot them at home. Better than paying $250 everytime they lost them, nice extra income.😁😁😁
Always love it when you get Dottie filled up to the top means more going to the scrap yard and not to the landfills. More money for Mikes Pockets!!!

Anyone else say to themselves " put the hatchet down" when Mike showed the bathroom sinks on his house tour video?
As long as you're making the $ we'll be watching! I see you tearing up the dumpsters now and can't help but think of your first few video's of you walking up to a dumpster and saying "ewe I'm not touching that." lol 😄
Congratulations to you and yours on your new home may you make many good memories and have great times in it.
Mike the scavenger has more Pizzazz than any other channel I watch on CZcams
It is so nice to get to watch you again after having no power for a week after the hurricane.

Mike, if those LED shop lights work, they will be a great addition to your new 3-car garage!
Brother you are helping to save the planet. By the way awesome new house you and miss scavenger bought
Nothing better than hearing MTS say “I’m gonna touch you” to the dumpster. 😂 I love this guy’s quirkiness.
Another great video. Thanks Mike! Love to you and the whole family!❤
Mike's got that new house. Has an extra bounce in his step tonight.

I swear you get faster and faster collecting stuff. Not to mention how entertaining you are. Successful night💪
Great job. And you have a lovely house
Hey MTS! Congrats on the new home base for scavenging. Hard work pays off! Well deserved brother. Stay safe!
Great load. Gotta get what you can while it’s still about. ❤️💙
Oh we’re so happy about you guys getting your new house enjoy guys you will build equity it’s cool
Love watching, you are so entertaining. Be safe
A few episodes back you said you may hit a couple of hundred dumpster to make one video, Thank you for that information.
The house looks awesome! I love the layout. Can we get a moving vlog n see your renovation progress? Are you doing all the renovations before you move in? Would make sense and be a whole lot easier since it's empty so you don't have to work around a buncha stuff.
A few dollars more for the best of the rest ,Mike the prolific scavenger .
Loving your channel ❤️

Keep up the great work your going to need it thank you for sharing five stars brother
Hey have you ever thought about asking the guy at the scrap yard if you take the valve out of the cylinder tanks if he could run them over with the machine for you?? Might be a good idea seeing how you always pass up so many different tanks?
When I was working in Australia the all thread was called booker rod. I still can booker rod. 😀

As someone else stated below... Those SS rods might sell better at a machine shop than the scrap yard! I found a couple of SS 3/4" pipe about 6' long a few years ago... Still have them for something.

MIke, I have ventured into doing some curbside scrapping recently. Which led me to my very first official dumpster dive (with permission). Which looks like will lead to more with the same individual in the future. You make it look so easy and so quick. I definately didnt have your speed and precision. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Mike would like to find another dryer with money in it
That shipping tape that you threw away or let's sit in the dumpster is worth anywhere from 50 to $100 if not more
I was laughing at you playing “kick the can” while inside a dumpster. I was worried when you jumped out of the dumpster onto that metal shelf. I could just visualize you landing on the lip of the shelf and it popping up and knocking you out. Remember honey you aren’t invincible.
WOW with the lights. That turned out to be an awesome haul for sure. I meant to mention something on your house video, when you go to put up the accent wall with the boards, could you video it so we could see how it’s done? If possible anyway. I’ve always been curious about those. I’ve wanted one in my foyer for years but I can’t figure out how to tell my hubby what I mean. Stay safe and God Bless
As always Mike another awesome video can't wait to see what those stainless steel pipes bring you. Keep on truckin ✌ ❤
Sweet touch with the melodies!
Keep rested so you don't get run down 🙂
Hi Mike just wanted to let you know on the h2s monitors they use a gas to calibrate them other than that there is not much inside
Anybody else think you had turned the speed up to 1.25, but you hadn’t?!! Dumpster diving with the Flash 🤪
Love your videos dude. I am going to get a shirt that says, "My therapist is Mike the Scavenger, maybe a picture of a trash panda on a dumpster couch lol" :) That lamp you took out of the fixture was a high-pressure sodium lamp, the element is tungsten, good to keep around to put a quick edge on a knife.
⤴️⤴️⤴️
Thanks for going through my videos.

Just a little lite workout dumpster diving.
That light bulb that you unscrewed the filament in the middle works awesome for sharpening knives!!!
