  • 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!

    My friend one thing about it, you earn your money every day. And you have a good attitude about it. Good job.

    You are a hard worker. I have scrapped for 25 years and I Injoy it more than the money. To me it is like a treasure hunt each and every day I got out and scrap.

    Thanks for the video, loved it as always. Your boundless energy is amazing. I am glad to see you finally delving into a few garbage bags, you rarely seem to do so and I always want to yell out, 'Mike, tear that sucker open, you never know,' LOL
    ETA: You did a good job re-Tetrising the boxes. 😁😁😁

    • @dianna3157
      @dianna3157 Před 2 lety +1

      I wanted him to tear open those bags in the last dumpster but could tell he was beat up (the heat just wears you down). He wasn't even up to dumping them out. But unlike MANY people in the comments, I'll never judge Mike for missing something or leaving something behind. You would think Mike is working for THEM and they're not getting their percentage, the way they jump all over him. If HE is satisfied with what he scored, we should be too. 🙂💪🐼

  • @Wizzkid9000
    @Wizzkid9000 Před 3 lety +7

    The boxes had quite high tech servers $1,000 each, the metal things were the stands but my guess is they installed them in racks and the stands were totally unwanted. Blue Teflon coated hex bolts sell for $2.00 on eBay, so you might be quids in there! The massive scrap haul was pretty much all XRT supermarket scanners I think, so that's pretty cool too :-D

    That looks like a full day of processing! Young Bertram from the farm says Ryobi is the only brand where you can mix and match any of their batteries and tools, irrespective of age, and they will still function. If so, then you only need one old Ryobi battery to test all that lot.

  • @magnetfishwithintermountia9224

    Not to sound ridiculous but if you toss or throw pencils the led inside actually breaks and there no good. That's why when you sharpen them the led just keeps falling out cause it's broke up inside

    Dude i just found your channel. I'm house sitting in a beautiful lakeside town in New Zealand and i can't go outside just yet cos i'm obsessing over your dumpster finds! lol love your energy and humour! Right i'm going to check out the dumpsters again tonight. Don't find alot in NZ. Dump fees are astronomical, like a dumpster like the one you go to would be around $450nz dollars to empty. It forces people to recycle and burn crap they don't want but the building site dumpsters! man i make alot of money off of them.

      One man's trash is another man's treasure. I heard that a long long time ago I am now 50 years old and I heard that some time before I was 11 years old because that is when my parents decided to move out of the big city to the country. Then I started to pick up center blocks left behind when someone had the mobile home repoed . Then in my 20 's I started hauling more junk in.
      GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN.

    When you said that you needed help sorting out the stuff that you had got I was thinking I would love to do that and then I saw that the video was old but you also live a few hours away from me. It would be nice to see what all you got out of that load. Like different metals and wire and the pay out.
