- 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.

Awesome Longerberger Baskets.......Someone spent a lot of money on the garage box full of them
Ok, so I told the wife we might get like $20 for the lot but now I’m thinking that may not be accurate, lol
@@MikeTheScavenger I'll give you $100 if you will ship them to me
'
@@MikeTheScavenger Mike, do your research. Those are worth $$. Spend some time looking into those.
I’m interested .. check on shipping 24870 to WV .. how many were there??
Holy Cow! I thought Longaberger was kinda done but the comps on eBay for the bankers wastebasket are $70-$80!!!
Those Longaberger Bankers waste baskets go for 50 and up online average of 79 and $100 that's what I'm talkin about
"Sometimes brass , sometimes aluminum, sometimes stainless. Sometimes brass too" i love tbis guy!
20 dollar dolly is a great band name
Omg, those longaberger baskets are each worth hundreds! Those video games are sought after by pickers more than anything! Love that you found an overhead projector, wow, great ish 😱😳👓☔
Those longaberger baskets are very very expensive and very collectable. Look on them and you will see usually (pencil) signed with year they are made. People who collect them will be dieing you found them in the garbage. I have several myself. DON'T THROUGH THEM AWAY OR SELL THEM FOR CHEAP. SOME ARE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. Good job on those. Wished I was there for that pick💓HAND MADE EXPENSIVE.
"Eww it's a bar of soap" - possibly the least bad thing ever found in a dumpster!
channeling inner homeless waif
It's raining and he finds a bar of soap time to take a bath 😂
He's allergic to soap.
@@shawbros He's allergic to brain cells...
Yea I like hes just " pair of pantys " like no big deal. But eww to the soap Haha
Hey Mike..Those baskets can go for a good amount of money..Enjoyed tagging along with you...
those are
longaberger baskets
Dude, most awesome score on the baskets, selling anywhere from $50 up to $125 each. Awwooooo! Y'all👍✌
That osb board in the purple dumpster is worth almost 90 bucks at my lumber yard could resell it for 60
Can't watch these till late. Came here looking for this comment. 🦅🇺🇸✌️
Should be*
@@christinebolster4584
Should be what?
Another Mike the scavenger video made my day
The Toilet, The Tail Light, The bar of Soap, all go together !
😂
To quote The Dude: They really tied the room together!
He's got legs! He knows how to use them!
Dumpster Diving is fun
I used to resell those vanity’s. The arms swing out, and typically long fabric would wrap around it. The slipper chair was cool too. I used to paint them fun colors, and make a quick $100. I’ve also sold a similar Vtg overhead projector on eBay, $135? ☮️
That subwoofer and controlpanel is for Logitech Z5500, they usually go pretty high used, if they work!
I love how you talk to the trash, you are one with the vibes.
IF YOU PUT AN ORANGE SECURITY LIGHT ON TOP OF DOTTIE IT WOULD MAKE YOU LOOK OFFICIAL AND NOBODY WOULD QUESTION YOU DRIVIN AROUND DUMPSTERS AND BACK OF STORES!!
16:35 ... Mike...yer standin' on a $30 piece of plywood!!
Mike...thanks for Ur vids...love that u dedicated this to Selma....Ur a good egg...love all Ur work...may she rest in peace....❤️
That was a real close one with the board with nails poking through.
Watch his other video's; It wasn't a "close call", but EVOLUTION at work...One simply has to be smarter than the junk metal...Well, at least he parked BESIDE the dumpster, this time...?
@@brentfarvors192 I never understood why someone would watch content from people they have no respect for. Do you get off just talking shit about people that are actually doing things and not just being bitter on CZcams? That a pretty pathetic way to live buddy.
@@Manhandle730 I just call them like i see them...
@@Manhandle730 Sometimes the truth HURTS...Doesn't make it any LESS the truth! If I did MY JOB like an idiot, I would get called out on it too!
Good job ☺ you're saving the planet.
Enjoy your CZcams's,👍😎take care!
OMG thats awesome! I would love to find something like that too!
Love watching in England.staysafe and ty for filming 🎥
Dollar general and family dollar are great places to go dumpster diving! Always throwing out good stuff for no reason!!
My entire childhood was stored in these games.
7:09 Oh my gosh I thought you wouldn't be able to escape the VERY SPIKY beam... but you did !
Takes multiple 2x8s to noggin, goes back for the scrap on it
I haven't found one yet but some of those baskets could be worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars
Overhead projector brings me back to school every classroom had one!!
The piece with the sub it's not a scrap, it's the stand for the remote :)
YAH!!!! STUFF !!!!
Ya here that wall studs! Mike said suck it! lol
You should take those small wall studs. It adds up
Yeah, love stuff. Wish I could do what your doing, oh well living thur you, thanks Mike.
Watch your head! Watch your head!
good job Mikey you scrap the way you want to let Mike do what he wants to do been watching you since you first started seems to me what you are doing works be safe
Southerners would never call that a BBQ pit , haha that's just a grill
I know , nit picking but it's what the internet is for
Guten morgen aus germanii 👍 👌 💪
Great video mike i love you mike
My favourite game: GTA S.A. i love it for today :)
those are some nice baskets and some worth good money
✔️ Right on! Right on! Right on!
ieuwww its a bar of soap lol
I remember those baskets from when I was young. They were collectible and worth quite a bit of money. The Longaberger building was 7 stories built to resemble a basket. I heard it was abandoned.
U should do more curbside diving, they throw away new things just cause they don’t like it sometimes in posh neighborhoods
Nice green grass there, we have been parched but the rains are beginning! Grass cutting will begin! The baskets are pricey😞
Afternoon Scavengers
Enjoyed your video 😎. God bless you and be safe 😎
Those baskets are a real find.
Those monitor stands from Dell have a nice chunk of cast aluminum in them if you break off the plastic, just need to break off the top steel plate with hinge, some of them break pretty easily by the hinge so the plate and hinge pop off with ease.
Yes those baskets are expensive and highly collected. People pay decent money for them even at yard sales
The brand of baskets that you mentioned some of those go for big money
Great video! You scored with those baskets 🧺 They can be worth lots of money 💴 thanks so much for sharing 💜
Rained real hard here about 3hrs ago. Saw where southeast Texas was getting it hard.🐎
The Longaberger Bankers waste basket, depending on the year, sells for between $40 and $60 on Ebay. If they are all Longaberger, you might sell them as a lot to a collector for a good price!
Vanity table don't forget the chair to it
Max Payne! Such a good game.
Scrap n pallet man wishes he could load a bbq like that... Heck so do I! My back is toast....
Longaburger Baskets are very expensive. Check them out
Good job
Oh my gosh, I was just thinking as you closed up your knife that I hope you don't drop it and lose it. Then you threw it in the back of your truck . Ha ha
Logitech makes stuff that sounds phenomenal - good find!
Got my lime green snippet cup today
Yea!!!
Longerberger basket very nice lots of value
I just broke a blade off my fan,good thing I've got a spare.🐎
LEG MAN LOL
Couple a bucks here a couple of bucks there and watch yo head.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those Longenberger baskets are expensive new. They used to have parties selling these at people's homes.
Still the best!
That was actually a toilet that you should grab. Always grab vintage sinks, toilets, etc if they are blue, pink, yellow, etc. Look them up.
Check those baskets. Longaberger Basket.
Oops, you just said it.
A piece of Americana
I admire your determination to work, I appreciate you
Awesome eclectic score!! Always enjoy your videos.😊
Mike you could get a guess your weight video 👍👍👍👍👍😅🤣😂
Eeeuuuwww! It's a bar of soap!😖 LOL
29:33 wow!
really wish i had all the games wish you still had them
Good pick up of stuff.
Mike workin hard as usual. ,!
Mike You are THE MAN ...
Mike check those bbq grills some of those tops are cast Alluminum and some of them are stainless and the doors can be stainless our scrap yard pays more for those items
Those Longaberger baskets can go for a pretty penny. Check eBay and you will see you can make some good money on those.
JD is right, new baskets 🧺 tend to run $100 and up, old ones may be even more! Don’t just put a buck on them at the garage sale 👍🤑💕💖💕
The 4x8 sheet of plywood your standing on is going for $50.00 to $65.00 a sheet in Home Depot! “Just saying” You rock brother! 😉✌️
Looks like star trek wall decor, Klingon?
I find 3/4 of the entertainment to be the commentary 🤣😂
20:35 TL/DR Mike mouth speaks the truth. ... panties, hmm (pooh bear in deep thought) we will have to check that out later. 😆
Good vid mr scavenger
LOVE the Longaberger baskets you found! ♡♡♡ There was also a lid for one of the baskets that was on the table when you tossed it out of the dumpster... not sure where it ended up! ♡♡♡ Enjoyed the vid as usual, Mike! 🤗
You sound just like character Bo Thompson in the NBC sitcom Superstore
Very good baskets look them up $$$.
You sure work hard! I enjoy your videos 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😍
Take the meatl wall studs lol ... you love it
Great start!
man I got a headache now thanks mike. Hard for me to watch my head. LOL
That's not water fella, you're in the juuuuiicce!
you can resell toilets to people who own rental houses, because they are always getting broken by tenants. i would always save the good ones when i did homeowner bath remods, and then resold them to the property management company i contracted maintenance for. i usually got $40-50 each, and $40 to replace them. for them, it sure beats $100-200 plus installation for a brand new one.
Fun little fact- the bulbs for those overhead projectors cost 100bucks!
At 11:14 i thought someone was standing out side the dumpster when you were in. Pause the video and that time and you will see what I see. Lol... The shadows of the poles look like a black shoes!
