  • 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 always a pleasure watching you busting your butt out there scrapping what we toss to the curbside. Nice of you to trade the mower for the fridge, you are an awesome young man. Love watching your videos keep up the great work. Have a great day stay safe out there.👍👍👍

    Yes, Mikey. You put a .22 round in the chamber, insert a nail at the end, pointed side out, and then hit (or pull the trigger) to set off the 22 round. It drives the nail into concrete. Nice of you to give that guy the lawn mower. It will give you a good name in that neighborhood to do things like that. Great video and keep up the good work.

    I wasn't feeling good, but then here comes a video of Mike the Scavenger to the rescue and picks up my spirit. You always ask if the thing you see on the curb is for the taking when you see someone in the yard or garage. Stay safe, stay in the dumpster finding the next great thing for good money. Peace.👍🏻🧓🏻

    Great video as always. Remember folks, I keep a few bed rails in my garage. They make great angle iron. Last summer a neighbor was putting up a new garage door opener. There was a wooden frame, cheaply built for the last one. Once he installed it he realized he needed angle iron to build something sturdy. I had him measure from beam to beam. The joists were 20 inches apart. I told him he had to help me in my garage. I have COPD and use oxygen so sometimes I need assistance. We went in and he said "What's that?" and I said "An old bed railing. We cut the two long pieces he needed. Then we cut four pieces the same length to fit to attach the garage door opener. We did have to use my drill press to drill some holes and I had more than enough bolts, nuts and washers to fit. We went back over and he installed it and got his door up and running. He laughed they were painted brown and looked great. So that's one bedrail that didn't go to the dump.
    I went to the doctors today which is 15 miles away. On the way back I saw "FREE" so I stopped. Wow, they had a lot of clean buckets. I got 10 five gallon buckets without lid that had food grade quality. They had over 2 dozen 1.5 gallon buckets perfect for making patio pots. I took them all and was pretty happy with my find. Next year, I'll plant veggies in the all along the back of the house and reap the fresh veggies from home. (I talk a lot).

    Powder actuated tool uses a small cartridge similar to a blank for firearms to propel a special nail into concrete. Handy for installing walls, or new lumber-type kitchen dividers your carpenter is building during your addition or remodeling project, etc., into pre-existing concrete floors. A variety of charges and nail packs in different sizes and power ranges are available.
