  • 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.

      It's actually more expensive than that, perhaps upwards of a thousand considering it has a fiberglass shell which means it's vintage.

    I found 2 50 gallon water heaters today and it was a chore for this 67 year old man , but going on 20 old ass to get them in my vehicle. Never give up , never give up , never give up. That is advise from a friend that lives in Alaska that I have been friends with for 54 years. I also have 3 other friends that I have been friends with for that long also.

    I just love watching these videos with all the commentary. I leave the house about once a month because I have COPD. If I ever wanted to do that, I would get me a pool ladder, haha. That way I could climb up one side and down the other. In my town, dumpster diving is almost prohibited. Everyone has their dumpsters in enclosures and those that don't, like behind stores and malls put up "no dumpster diving" signs. I was very lucky years ago. I was walking through a mall and the JC Penney store was closing. They had wood shelving they were dumping. I'm talking about 3 feet wide by 2 feet deep with a metal bar at each end to fit in a shelf frame. They used metal pins to adjust the height. I called my uncle and he came by really fast. We loaded up 40 of those shelves and 2 dozen frames and I bought rope at a dollar store. I took them home and put them all down one side of my basement and the leftovers in the garage. I used mr. clean and that wood shined like new. Each board was heavy and my neighbor said they were oak. He wanted one so I gave him one. He sanded that board down and took off the metal. He made a base and had a small mini kitchen table that he still uses to this day. He told me if I ever got rid of those shelves he'd buy them to make furniture.
    I watch Taco Stacks collecting metal and stuff at curbs. That got me to buy a used truck and I go and pick up old dressers for free. I bring them home in the garage and give them a scrub. I can repair anything and polish or repaint. I give them away to people in need so they have a nice used dresser and I have a hobby. Last year, I gave away 20 dressers and this year I hope to do more.
    Why throw away stuff in a landfill when others can get use out of it or make extra money scrapping? Mike the Scavenger is really inspiring to watch, showing hard work pays off, literally.
