  • 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 forgot to thank CZcams for Production in conjunction with Mike the scavenger. In which they did take an Emmy for it. Also, Mike' s helper DOTTIE, also took an EMMY for that category. Sorry! Mike you missed two EMMYS.

    Mike you are a dumpster-diving Tasmanian Devil and I mean that as a compliment. You really tear it up out there in the urban jungle. I cannot believe the amount of energy and the immense amount of calories you burn up digging through all of that trash. You should be proud of how hard you work and all of the good you are doing by recovering valuable metals and keeping it out of the landfill. Keep
    up the good work!

  • @Ninja-Mama
    @Ninja-Mama Před rokem +3

    Most cash registers have a button, switch on the bottom at the back. It’s there in case the drawer jams and that’s not like the jam we see Mike do at the scrap yard! 🤣😂

    Mike gets me motivated to fill up my truck to turn in my scrap. It takes me a little longer because I break down everything to maximize my return. I have several 100 pounds of aluminum to turn in... Probably a whole truck load of just that!

  • @scottrunnels3958
    @scottrunnels3958 Před rokem +1

    I found a double drawer clover pos system with 2 cash drawers in a curbside find. One drawer had 68.00 and the other 77.00 in change and bills . Crazy stuff learned it all from Mike the Scavenger!!!!

    Those stackable metal stools are over $100 each new & very sellable. Same with that black metal chair! The cash register will have a hole in the bottom to pop the drawer open after you unlock it. Definitely some cool finds tonight!!

  • @janetgasper9580

    Nice haul Mike congrats a litte cash register tip If you cant unlock the cash register most cash registers will have a manual release switch for the cash drawer its on the bottome of the cash register towards the back it should pop the drawer open working as a cashier in the past has taught me a few tricks including geting to the money tray diuring a power outage.

    Wow nice stackable garage stools. Those are probably under $100 each new. I've been looking for a few for my garage and couldn't decide to get them or ones with a back on them. I might just build a wooden bench for people to sit down on. That's the beauty of your video's. Everything is unique and we never know what you will find but it is like riding along with you each time. Thanks for the video!!

    Chances are if you plug the cash register in you will be able to open the drawer without having to break into it and if it works ok sell it.👍💚💛❤️
