  • 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.

    hey Mike: So like, ya' scared the Begeezus out of me fishin' through a dumpster full of broken hunks o' glass for 2 decrepit aluminium chairs (THAT will REALLY hurt your "bourgois", boy). Then minutes later You had me howling over (shudder) the dreaded "chicken in the Texas heat". No lying, yours is my go-to favorite channel on CZcams, and I like it that way... so keep safe, leave the chills for someone else. Love your sense of humor... plenty thrilling for me .in friendship, Mary Lou.

    Hello! Mike, I watch your videos about the finds in trash containers, they throw out a lot of paper, cardboard and nobody collects it. I live in Ukraine, Kramatorsk, we have cardboard, paper, PET plastic bottles, aluminum cans, glass bottles are collected mostly by the homeless or alcoholics, and those who do not want to work. All this second raw material is very cheap, especially plastic PET bottles. Very little metal is thrown away, I collect it myself, various electronics are very rare.

    Ohh Mike...the chicken, I feel for you! Back in the college summer jobs days I worked for my small home town city services. We were the guys that did all the odd jobs that needed to be done. That included filling in on the garbage truck so those guys could take vacation time. One very hot August day I grabbed up someone’s old style galvanized steel trash can and proceeded to pour what had been a chicken into the back of the truck... It was something out of a horror flick, obnoxious looking liquid with the most foul odor and then the bones poured out at the end of it. 😑 I nearly lost breakfast and didn’t even look forward to lunch.
