- 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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!
Usually battery backups either start beeping because they're low on charge, or because one (or more) of their cells are dying. Since that thing fired up the fans right off the bat, they may have just chucked it for a newer model (if not, you can easily find a cheap replacement cell for the one that's dying). That model has three prong high voltage out and in, so, if you can fix it, if you're a bad enough dude, you can probably use that as a backup power supply for, ummm, the entire house next time there's a blackout.
I get so tired after I watch your video’s, I feel like I help lift every heavy thing out of the dumpsters (smile)
5:03 ...that damn cat gets me EVERY time!!
Looks like that Instant Pot Slow Cooker/Pressure Cooker has been through a bad event!

Mike you make dumpster diving look like a ton of fun.
You make me smile ☺ Happy Turkey day to you and your family.
I love the things you find and don't know what they are. I learn alot from your channel
i love the way how you enjoy of what you are doing sir,that brings a good vibes on me
Those boxes of wire usually have the footage printed on the side of the wire. It will start at 1000 and count down to zero. So look for the changing number on the wire!
Thank you Mike for this video!
if i can't go "treasure hunting", watching mike is the next best thing
Love the stuff you find and your personality
How curious did you get Mike? Lol 😂😂😂 You are hilarious
" Scrappity scrap scrap CLUB"....lol Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family Mike.
Just once I want to look out my window at night and see a guy with a light on his head jumping up and down on my pogo stick !!
What a great heavy scrap nite! Good finds, great video! Thank you! You get better money selling batteries on eBay, people rejuvenate older batteries and they’re like new.
Love your energy Mike fantastic vlogs
Super good haul.
Mike sure you already know this, but... Check the # printed on the side of the wire. There is a Footage # there, Check the 1'st # to the last # to see how many feet are left on the roll.
Thats why I had boots while dumpster diving when I was younger.
Found some neat stuff btw!
Yeah! Buddy! Nice scrap grab!
I new you were going to jump on that pogo stick, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰
Wooohooooo another great video to watch
Love your videos .... im just waitin oneday for a cat or trash panda does jump out !!
Greetings Mike. This was an amazing video of treasures. You really had to bring the muscles🥊🥊💪💪. Always be safe,healthy &blessed
Yeah Mike get it.
That creepy clown statue was a Lladro 200$+ statue... the flower was broken on this one... but easy 5$ at yard sale. "Vintage Lladro 5130 Pensive Sad Jester Clown Head Porcelain Figurine"
The guy found several sound power in the trash 😲
Happy Thanksgiving Y’all! Hope your day is great n enjoy long weekend. Let’s get scrapping!!
Great score. I love to scrap electronics. I would be going nuts over those 3 back-up systems. Stay safe and keep the video's coming dude.
MIN 14:37 FART MACHINE WORKING GOOD... LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mike, be smarter and smartest❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brasil ✌️
PASSO LARGO steveandsteph dumpster divers? He always calls out BRAZIL! 🤣😂
Svaka čast sve pohvale za tebe
The golf clubs will be a nice addition to your garage sale....put $30 on the club's and bag....accept a $20 bill from the first person who offers it. Dunlops are a beginner's set that can get at Walmart.
When I was younger, I used to believe that was a real cat screeching at Mike.
I am older i still believe. Makes me giggle every time.
how younger?
yeah i did too.....until it happened about the 4th time...then i caught on
Pantelis Christidis at least 3-4 months younger. I have done a lot of maturing recently.
@@luke_mma_love Makes me jump every single time!
Pogo sticks are fun I can imagine you were good on that lol ..thanks for taking us along
Saving the earth!!!!
Pura vida saludos desde Costa Rica!!!!
excelente
Boom boxes are worth something, check with Cincinnati picker.
Good job.
Awesome haul mike
Great dive!!
If you find a garage door opener, the thingy on mine stopped working. So if you find one with a working thingy..
You scored on that triplite backup!!
Sell them on your local Craig's list $50 $50 and $100.
Pura vida Mike !!!!
I got my beeping thang!
Rumor has it somewhere over the horizon that box is still beeping 🤣
Yes!!! Another great video. Missed you man
That middle one might be a server. 10 yrs is old for tech stuff, but your electronics guy should buy those from you. The tripp lite obviously holds a charge. Glad you didn't get zapped in the dumpster with the water at the bottom.
WE! TOTE! YEAH!
"It won't stop beepin' at me!"
It's talking to you, Mike. Sez: You better be strong, sucka!
You found another part to the spaceship shuttle pod. Don't grab that battery backup. We need that for the shuttlepod.
alright alright alright
Well! Blow me down💨🙊😂😂
OOOOOH myyyyygosh!!! u make me laugh soooo much.. u rock
If the battery backup things work properly and have nothing broken they could be worth some money (more than scrap value).
That is one of those instant pots
Everything you grab from these dumpsters or trash piles is hopefully one less thing that ends up in landfill. Melting down old scrap (regardless of what metal it is) is better for the planet than pulling new fresh stuff out of the ground. Good to see someone doing something that improves the planet (even if it also makes money)
Love the vids mike keep them coming
Beeping...its gonna blo mike 😱
some of those parts for the flat screen tv's are expensive even if the screen is broke. My sister threw one away i sold all the parts for around $100 then i threw the rest away at my job lol
That beeping thing can power your space ship
14:39 Farts and then calls something else disgusting haha
Thanks for another great video and your damn funny my friend love your vids
Loved the 60s batman. So what did the Pink Panther say when he stepped on ants on his way to the dumpster? Deadant, Deadant, DeadantDeadantDeadant, Deadant Deadant... 🎼🎶🎵
Be super careful breaking down those battery backup / UPS units. Unhook those batteries and cycle the power button several times to discharge the static power left over in the capacitors. That big one has enough stored amperage in it to make this your last scavenging trip if you don't tear it down right bro. Those things are no joke. You may know this already, but we'd like to have you around a while!
those keys make good wind chimes Mike
Bună seara Mike Felicitari
Indonesia present
Nice one Mike
Like to see you scrap that monster out, if you don't sell it to the electrics guy, great video as always keep them coming 👍 👍 👍
Should have plugged tv in to battery backup. Lol
A tip Mike those microwaves have big magnets in them if you're willing to take them apart😀
LOL do not scrap those UPS, they are worth a lot of $, lot of compannies is dumping whole UPS when battery pack fails/has low runtime... just replace batteries inside those battery packs, test those UPS a bit (measure runtime, test all outputs are working, test communication dataline is working), clean them up and sell them for half of purchase price as used!
I'd laugh if Mike found an actual cat in a dumpster
That's what I've been waiting for lol
In my hood you will find alot of cats in the dumpster.
1 MINUTE TO LAUNCH!
That big ups could bet you at least $500-2000 as a full unit?!?
You little stinker lol. Mike keeping it real 🤣
Another great video from the legend himself !!
I like the "miaw" 🤣
Hi ninja !!!!👍👍👍👍🏂🏂🏂
