- 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'm so sorry Mike, I laughed when the box broke because that is exactly what would have happened to me!

@40:25 I'm sorry for laughing when the bottom of that box opened.
Those candles look like they came from a wedding (in bag with roses, etc.).
Well Mike, if the bottom didn’t fall out you would not have found the drills, lol.❤️🇨🇦
Hey Mike, just had to let you know that I've loved every minute of diving with you this past year. I hope the New Year is extra good to you and yours, with plenty of wealth and only good health, and enough laughter to keep life sweet. Peace!

Hey Mike! I.T. Guy here- That little grey wand thing in the Velcro pouch marked ‘tempo’ is the speaker half of a wire toner tool. It’s missing the other half.. you’d plug the other half into a network line or phone line and it sends an audio signal through that wire so you can find the other end with that wand tool you have- it amplifies the audio signal so you can hear it when you point the pointer end at the wire so it helps you trace that one wire in a bundle. Someone probably left the other end in a phone or network closet on a job. Not that I would know anything about that.. Ha! Keep it up man, awesome as always and happy new year!
Dude we could watch your videos 100 times and not want to fast forward a second.
I dont know about everybody but we would enjoy a video of you hanging with your daddy.
Love your videos, and you keep loving the haters, you do awesome videos.
Entertaining isn't he? I fucking laugh at his antics every video.
Yes, I am glad you took the candles. You can add essential oils to them & they will be great. Great find!!!!!
Are you okay Dottie? "Yowch!" 😂
She bang she bang !!!!
Mike you always make my day/night when I watch your video's. It takes my mind off all the negative stuff in the world as it is. Thank you for bringing laughter and happiness to my Day/night.
Keep laughing, Mike; you gotta keep laughing. You gonna live to be an old happy man ☺💖
Lol alright we are repacking the box! It happens to us all! Thank you Mike for taking me along.
Awesome.
I hope we get a National bottle deposit! That breaks my heart. I dumpster dive for cans here at my condo, and give them to folks who cash them in for money. It helps out the environment AND people who are struggling due to pandemic. You rock, Mike! Love the vids! ☮️
Here in Michigan we have a 10 cent can and bottle deposit. You never see any cans or bottles laying around or in dumpsters. Every state should do this. Our roads may be awful but there’s no trash along the roads. Also what’s up with all this yard waste going in dumpsters? Somebody start a compost business please.
I am in my 70's qnd when I was A CHILD WE USED TO COLLECT BOTTLES AND TAKE THEM TO THE STORES AND GET MONEY FOR THEM.

I lived in Michigan between 1994 - 2002 (approximately) and made a lot of money from can and bottle recycling! It was much needed, because the state economy was so bad.

I spent my early childhood in Jacinto City, Tx (5 - 8). Back then ( ‘70s) my friends and I collected glass bottles to buy candy. Back then our parents didn’t have to worry about us being abducted or any crazy stuff like that. I remember riding my bike or playing in the gullies or woods, pretty much all day with zero supervision…..sad that kids these days can’t experience the safety we had (or felt) back then….
I feel he works so hard for the little money he gets
On that one I am sitting here laughing. If I had done that I would be laughing at myself!
29:34, Don't tell Mom the babysitter's dead lol
I wonder if anyone else got that reference when you jumped off the "dental wings" dumpster? "Oh long .......? "" I know it was that cat on America's funniest home videos, right????
You can melt em down and add essential oils or fragrance to those candles. Glad you grabbed em
Those Bang Energy Drinks were a good find..at $2 a pop at HEB...and 300 mg of Caffeine...they will you going all day long! Have a happy new year..and stay out of the rain...it's Wednesday night and it's been raining here in Austin since noon. It was 70° at 11am and by noon...raining and in the 40's! Stay save and you and the wife have a great NEW YEAR!
Happy New year to you Mike and your wife. Loved this video.
I dont think there isnt a person out there that loves to see what your going to pull out of those dumpsters. I wish you happiness and love and prosperity in the coming year.
I know this is an old video, but when I saw you lose the stuff out of the other end of that box I darn near peed my pants laughing! I'm so sorry to laugh at your expense but I laugh because I have done exactly the same thing before. I feel your pain!
For the copper jacketed RF conduit, if I take the plastic sleeve off (which is very easy to strip by slicing it with a razor blade) I get #1 wire price at my yard. Just turned in quite a few pounds of it and have another 15-20 to now strip.
You scrabbling around in open tops reminds me of the Star Wars scene where all the characters were in the garbage compactor thing with the walls closing in:) amazed you ain't found anything lurking in the dumpster juice so far Mike :D
the inductive amplifier finds breaks in A/C wire, it tests for busted wire. Is it weird that I walk around saying scrappily scrap all the time?, I'm gonna write that song. Ha, love this channel. happy new year brother.
Haven't even started the video yet just wanted to say I've tried to watch other scrapper's videos but I just can't. They are not entertaining like you. So thank you for teaching me things and still make me laugh.
Inductive Amplifier Nice tool, worth a few bucks!- an is a type of test instrument that does not require DC electrical contact to detect an AC wire under voltage. The conventional use of the is the location of breaks in hidden wires, even buried in concrete.
A useful tool!
#2 it's what we do, after our coffee🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
happy new year you to my friend and all of you who have commented ive watch your vids loads i like it that much i have watched your vids 5 times over you put a smile on my face when ive had a rubbish day and i love how humble you are and always smiling even in the wet and cold weather when are you going to do vids of curbside and dumster diving in one vid stay safe we are in lock down over in rubbish england much love
29:03 I"ll take number two! (number two in the dumpster beats finding a number two in the dumpster)
I recently stumbled upon you! You are 100% correct about whataburger! Better than any other burger place!
Happy New Year Mike. Let those containers be full with precious goods for you.
You put a smile on my face! I love the pink table!! I'm hoping you kept it! ✌😃
They call him eagle eye! Eagle eyed Mike!!!
use the grabber things for dumpster juice times. and build yourself a bed hoist for the heavier items.
I save the little stuff and process on a rainy day and since weve had no rain in my part of arizona I fot small buckets full just waiting for a rainy day.
Yesssss
Mike that tall crystal you thru back in the dumpster used a fiver optic light source from underneath and that was a garage sale item.
Maik 😄found big money in the aluminum metal scrap container. He's making a video of you taking the things to the scrapyard and how you hand the cables, aluminum and motors over to the scrap dealer. We would also be interested🚚🛻🚛🦺
First comment from Israel all love and support mike❤
You deserve a medal 🏅 forgetting that big board out the skip and all the scrapping you do # save the planet
The candles you can melt down. Just buy some fragrance oil from a candle place and some wicks and make candles for gifts and sale at your garage sales.
Scentless candles can always be remelted and add essential oil or scent to them.
That little blue and white thing in the pouch is used to check continuity in phone cables or ethernet. There is a part missing.
Omgosh lmao. That could only happen to Mike the scavenger..
with a magnet, you could pick all small steel parts/snibbets that are in the bottom of plastic/trash bags. Save time. Could not get copper/alumininium though...
You should get those wooden roller things a lot of people are making tables for them and putting them on the back patio all you got to do is stain them and clear coat on them and put them on your back table on your back porch they're really nice a lot of people were buying them
The candles and flowers are from a wedding reception. Great find!!
Happy New Year to you and the Misses . I hope the next year is a great and healthy one for you and your entire family.
Yay! Instant replay on the box packing. I've been there. Had to laugh with you.
I had a great time watching
You really packed ole Dotty this evening good job Mike, you and your family have a happy New Years🥰😎🤟
“The wine selections in noted dame”
Happy New year from Italy
Another great video. Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas.
Stay safe and God Bless
Have a safe and Happy New Year
Love candles and you make bumper diving fun
Enjoyed your video. God bless you and be safe 😎 😊
Yeah sure you could have parked closer to the open-top ... but where’s the fun in that? 😃 Have a happy New Year, Mike.
😄I love the dumpster punches!👍
45:24 looks like a cable tracer. AKA a tone tool. Useful for finding which cable is which when you are dealing with cat5 or phone cables.
That Dumpster Juice is lurking - ha ! Nice Drill Set - wow ! Candles do sell - but You got a Large Bag full ! Nice Wires and Electronic Gear - well done - That large Alu Frame is a Great Score indeed ! You done sooooo very well Dumpster Diving - we love it ! Stay Safe and many,many Cheers from us in Australia ! HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
Candles could be from a wedding reception.
Those 💪come in handy, great finds and great video 🙂👍
You could grind off the silver using a dremmel / sander and sell the dust as crude silver/steel slag
Rain n snow mix headed your way bro- we are getting it now here in EL Paso Tx! HAPPY New year buddy!
EPIC! Thanks for being entertaining!
Also THAT LAUGH WAS DAMN BEAUTIFUL
Love You Mike
That candle bag was probably wedding table stuff. List it as such on FB.
Hi Mike another great video good luck regard 💪👍❤️🇸🇬
You can always add scent to wax and make them smell individually to the person you are giving them. X
Melt the candles and add your own scents! It's free wax!
People will buy candles for the wax, they melt them and add oils and make them into wax warmer scents.😁

I like the jalapeno one but the number 1 with cheese is great.
happy new year Mike when it gets to you.
love the films.
stay safe and keep scrapping.
Lunch time! Time to watch Mike do his thing. 1:49 that's a toner probe used for wire toning. I use it for locating cables that run from a bedroom back to a panel or other location, great tool. Missing the toner though.
Dumpster Food Challenge!!!
Mike u found a lot of scrap metal. Have a great night. Happy new year
Yay new gloves!
Hi Mike...Happy Holidays from Unkalbigguy in Philly!!
I always Loved your Video’s, I’m a huge Fan of yours, & Shane- man & Bob, Taco Stacks, Scrap & Pallet man, Tucker Upper any many others, and I’m just getting around to seeing all the back videos for the last 12 weeks I’ve been in the hospital & rehab for dialysis. You’ll never realize how much your video’s help a person like me get through day after day of boredom. TY from the bottom of my heart!!! Love
Tom “Unkalbigguy” Burke
You should have took all the roses and uaed them to sent the candles.👍👍✌👊👊
Nice one from New Zealand Mike and stuff hopefully copper 😊
Happy New year to you Mike and your family.🍻🇨🇦
I laughed out loud when the stuff fell out of the bottom of the box because that’s what would happen to me!! 😘😘😘
That is so awesome how You slide in and out of those dumpsters. Good job bro
Candles with no sent help clear up odors and then the scented ones smell better.
Good Job Mikey STAY SAFE
When the bottom of the box fell out, I laughed out loud but I feel your pain, haha
Hey Scavenger when you said "oohhh long johnson" I just about lost t as I immediately pictured that cat saying that. At least I hope that's where you got that saying from. Peace
Another successful night there Mike.
All the best for 2021 and let's hope it's better than 2020.
Aluminum cans add up put them in the road and flatten them with your truck driving back and forth to flatten them
Pretty good haul There Mike A lot of people just like candles for when the power goes out and they don't have to smell.
Hey, that poster could have been worth something!!
Old posters can sometimes be worth alot of money, especially if it it rare.
You should have taken it and looked it up online when you got home.
Cotton candy bang my favorite
really enjoyed your Video!! reminds me of my dumpster divin' days...
Quit stirring up the dust Mike ya making me sneeze....lol gotta get that scrap.
the thing that says inductive amplifier is called a toner there should be two parts to it one small box with two wires coming out and the long peace with the needle you attach the two wires to any circuit and then the needle will pick up the electricity going down the wire without touching the wire and make a beeping sound that way you can trace the circuit without breaking the wires or the insulation
Missed you be careful, may god watch over you and family, happy new year, vivian
Blimey mate, poor old dodgy, overloaded with candles, happy new year mike.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to u & yours!!! B SAFE!!!!!❤😜✌
Dump that can bag out!!!
