  • 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!

    The little black fan, that you have, is an exhaust fan for a Grill Top Stove.
    It mounts to the floor, under the stove and pulls the smoke out of the grill area.
    Their Great for keeping the space, under your house dry.

    I think all your watchers love to see the things in the light. And what all of the things you put in boxes so fast. Your experience is very important to know that you are getting worth while things. And your personality is very fun to hear and enjoy the journey.
    The after party of the passed few days after get enough sometimes in one night. Please keep the reveals of the dumpsters coming. Enjoy the time and learn what it's all about. Thank you Mike for a time to relax and watch your shows.

    The black and white thing at 23:30 is to put into a background tube. There were probably two of them. You also picked up a black metal bracket looking thing. That is to put up multiple backdrops on one set of tripods. Probably was a second one of those as well.

  • @robertsherburne2214

    Long gray electrical box is called a raceway. Used for running several wires above multiple breaker boxes. Wires will drop to each box. Depends on length as to cost, some run around $80 new.

    Once a fire extinguisher is empty, it can be safely sawed in half, I've sawed tons of them! Plus I have disassembled tons of monitors, there is no scrap in them at all, what do you do with them?

    Hey Mike, That fan goes to a high efficiency gas furnace, for the exhaust. depending on what unit it came out of they are quite pricey. I recently got a used one off E-BAY and spent just over a 100 bucks. New was 285. You might look into selling it. BTW im scrapper at heart and also have a buddy that we call "Mike the scrapper, " keep on keepin on with the videos, good stuff!

    @7:37 🧯 my scrap places take the fire extinguishers, the good ones go back to fire extinguisher maintenance companies, the crappy or unservicable ones go right into a shredder that they use for tanks ....including propane tanks ,they shred empty tanks ,but sometimes they go somewhat boom 💥 if a little gas is still inside, then they chuck a fire extinguisher in soon after 🤣,@8:24 that fire extinguisher taste is basically bicarbonate soda powder
