- 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.

Sometimes I catch myself moving my head around to get a better look inside the dumpster while watching his videos. Lol.
i’m guilty of this too 😂😂
Me too lol
I think there are a lot of us that do that😊
Me to 😂
Hay Mike, if u can tell what the RCBS DIESET goes to, I might b interested.
I find it incredible the amount of good items Americans throw out!!!
Unfortunately we are a wasteful and trashy society. 😢
Unfortunatley i think its world wide. Im not a scrapper but the amount of stuff i have found dumped
out front of peoples houses that is still in good condition is mind boggaling and im in Australia.
We have one local man who collects bikes from scrap heaps and fixes them and gives them away
to kids who still want to ride bikes. Another guy collects lawn mowers and repairs them and on-sells
them at a cheaper cost than new. Yep, we are guilty here Down under to for throwing away good stuff.
Hi from Australia
Mike with pants on must be cool in Texas 😮
sweet sweet scrap
So glad you took those 1 x 12's no way I could have passed those up.
Happy New Year everyone hope everyone has a great new year
In my area, getting the bag for the lawnmower can be a struggle.... That Toro at 22:48, it was like, there's a perfect bag.... Super score. You can sell that all day with a bag....
Another Dive and Curbside Combo, you can't beat them 😍😍😍
Cheers Mike from Australia
MY FAVORITE SCRAPPER

Happy New Year

Let’s go Mike. Get them snibbits.
Lots of re-sellable merch this trip for sure👍
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MTS ❤❤❤❤
People are such a waste with Christmas decorations. Throw away and buy new stuff
I still have Christmas decorations from the 50s!
Throw away society!
Mike you have some good aim when you are throwing stuff into the bed of Betty.
@@vince131ssad thing is the thrift stores would just toss it out anyway…they’re the worst at wasting things…the whole charity thing is just an illusion that the big corporations profit from big time…and then they make sure no one gets the free stuff by destroying it or tossing it in a compactor
I hate it.
Well done! More MTS
Mike! ❤
What's y'alls New Years Resolution and how long you think you'll keep it?
My resolution is to a little bit better every day. I know that there will be days when I fail at this but overall I think it will last all of 2024. May you and your family have a happy and prosperous new year 🎉
Frugal living, until end Jan
No more problems 2024 :D
Not to make any more resolutions, I also plan on keeping it indefinitely..
That torrow lawn mower looks pretty nice!!!
THANK YOU ❣️ LOVE THE YELLOW MOM'S BIKE ❣️❣️❣️
Good lord, Betty White is getting a workout, as are you! 😆 Thanks for the video Mike. ❤
Yes Sir!!!
you are one of my favorite scrapper vlogger cause you don't hesitate in digging a dumster even if its raining. I also enjoy watching you in the river cause you are different from the other scrapper.
Full load👍🤓👍roll on betty❤ great haul Mike. Happy and safe Holidays to you and your family+🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Amazing the different styles or options to dumpster Diving. Years ago, for me, risk of Personal Injury, uncertainty of truly being Trash, Space vs Value, and time required to clean for most Profit and most importantly, Load Space value. I've literally seen pick up trucks come to the scrap yards loaded with mixed metal losing %50 or more value due to mixing Short Steel, Stainless or electrical appliances with elect. cords still attached with plain low Dollar per ton metals. An intact a/c unit is worth a little better than coin change and takes up valuable space, break it down to copper and condenser you are talking dollars. Once a week I'd cash in electrical cables from fans, blenders etc. for a hundred dollars or more. Same goes for manufacturers Brass, doorknobs and some shower rods etc.
😃👍👋👋
Nice haul! I kept waiting for the home owner to come out and say, no on you loading those bikes and all. Lol! Thank you for sharing.
I have the exact same hot plate at 7:00. Very useful to cook a hot meal in the hotels when the rooms doesn't have a kitchen.
Scrapity scrap scrap scrap
Thank you for taking the wood! I was afraid you would leave it behind :) Have a wonderful day!
Okay, that does it, I am Never going to be drinking Anything while I’m watching your videos ever again !! My nose hurts from everything that’s come up out of it !! Lol lol. You are just too too funny Mike. I LOVE it. And You. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦
Use to love scavenging, now there’s always 3-4 other ppl driving around the neighborhoods I use to go to 😢 glad you’re still doing great
I’m amazed at how much good stuff people throw away. I’m also amazed at how much of that stuff you can fit in your truck. All the best in 2024.
Been a minute since you had a load like this Mike! Nice!
Christmas never ends for scavengers!
Wow Mike, awesome hunt! People amaze me with all they throw out! Can't wait for the next one!
Im impressed, just when I think there is no way Mike can fit anything more on to Betty White, he still manages to take all the scrap off the curb.
Mike Mike Mike!!! Thanks for taking us along! I appreciate you! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!! Stay weird!!!
I think Mike is the largest recycler of Christmas trees in Texas
I hope u kept the round table & stools. They were CUTE... Anywho hope all had a GREAT & Merry Christmas & hope Santa was Good to the fur-babies... Happy Divin...❤
Hearing him sloshing around in "the juice" made it grosser and funnier at the same time.

That table and chairs look nice for your patio.
Happy New Year to the scavenger family and everyone else

I think that trip was a home run, quite honestly..... Holy crap.
Wow nice find 👏 👌
Dang! You cleaned up on those awesome bikes!
Glad you picked up those 2 pine 1x12 boards Mike! Those would make a great table or work bench top. Cannot wait to see what you use them for. Great episode! Lots of variety and really good quality finds! Keep digging and take care!
Another great haul thanks Mike!👏👏👏
