- 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 can't believe people just throw away game consoles like that! Awesome find!
Thinking someone got evicted and all their stuff got tossed
Rich people. SMH
i mean it is a console, pc master race.
As another person said, Landlords usually just trash everything left behind after evictions.
I work construction and have done bids for landlords sometimes before they clean out the property's.
I have been in about a dozen property's post-eviction pre-cleanout and every one of them had at least $1000 worth of stuff left behind that would go fairly easily at garage sales, especially if priced super low.
Its honestly weird seeing what people leave behind despite obviously having money issues, otherwise they probably wouldn't have been evicted.
The strangest was one that the renter literally took nothing but a bag of clothes during a police supervised eviction and left literally everything else behind according to the landlord. Asked them about 6 months later and they had decided to store all the stuff that wasn't actual trash at another one of their property's thinking the tenant would dispute/ask for it back but nope, tenant never reached out.
@@PortersMob Ah! That's interesting, thanks for the info 👍
Hey Mike, thanks for a brilliant year of watching your channel, I’ve loved all those discoveries and funny voices! All the best for your scavenging adventures in 2022…… love your channel mate
Love watching you pick up scrap. I learned at a young age how valuable metals are. My foster father John Curtis was called the Junkman on the CB. Worked for the nieghbor scrapping.
Your definitely one of the hardest working scrappers out there Mike. Take care of yourself, your Wife deserves it.
Mike! You got the stuff...
Score!!!
Extremely jealous of the console finds!
I agree I can't afford the playstation console and Mike is like literally like hold my beer lol
Same
They aren't worth that much..
@@CaliAmg I think that would depend on your perspective. If you work all the days God sends and have a large family to support. Whether they’re worth much doesn’t matter if you still can’t afford them !!!!!
@@Lilyandmoomin thats the person's choice to have a large family and put themselves in that predicament. Where in the new testament does it say to have large families or to be married ? Regardless people make choices and if they want to dumpster dive for junk by all means go ahead. They aren't worth that much money by selling it on ebay if that's the intent after taxes, shipping and so forth
I think you should have grabbed the other playstation box. Good for resale. I checked out your merch. If you had a coffee cup that said dumpster juice I would buy it.🤣
Actually he did. If you look at the end of the video, the other PS3 box is under the table! :)
Absolutely outstanding score, good job Mike, you made another evening exciting 😊👍👍👍
Oh my goodness what a score !! Epic night !!
After watching your video with my 16 yr old soon. He gave me an in-depth Convo on your finds! Needless to say, he said, a whole lot of awesomeness!
Wish you would slow down and check every inch when finding treasure dumpsters like that! I feel like you leave stuff behind because you're on adrenaline rush! Guarentee there was an X-Box in there if there were cords for one.
Looks like a Mario Kart Wii disc is in the Wii. Press that eject button! :D
Great find! Such a waste that that person threw away working stuff instead of donating it. Glad you were there to pick it up Mike
The Dumpster Ghost of Christmas Past. It's like a miracle
Thank goodness you saved all that stuff! Great job! The PS3 in box is a launch day console since it has that Talladega Nights movie.
Found this channel last year and have been hooked ever since. Thanks for all the positive vibes you bring
Stellar scores my dude! On to another year of primo diving! Thank you for takin us along! You are the greatest!!
Hey Mike, you remind us of our brother, the way you talk🤣 the stick with the pinchers he always called his “geezer tweezers “ 😂🤣😂 you are welcome to use it too ! Ha!
Ați doresc un an nou fericit și anplinirea tuturor dorințelor .Mike.
Super nice haul !! 2nd dumpster, that was full of conduit and flex conduit. Playstations , WI, games..movies...holy game night .
That’s left only for you Mike!Have lovely New Year for you and your family!Good staff every day!🎄🥂🐝Ann in London
This was a real audio/video dumpster gold mine.
Scrap and Stuff and Mike 🤘👍🏽🍺 Happy new year dumpster racoons 🦝
thanks for ride along for 2021 its been entertaining!! look forward to 2022 content and those surprises that dumpsters bring with them. Keep up the outstanding work.
Totally amazed at the stuff you find.
Good on you.
Big score today! All that conduit and wire was a huge win.
amazing night tonight wow!! next time you are by there grab that empty box if its still there! you can sell it collectors look for them all the time, also keep the other one in the box itll be worth more!
Happy New Year 2022 to yourself, Mrs. Scavenger & your family. Stay Safe.
Well it’s been a great 2021 watching your channel! I look forward to what you share in 2022. Thanks so much for sharing 💜
WOW! Good haul! Youre gonna have lats and traps for days from loading conduit! 👍🏻😂😂
Ripping into all the bags and boxes and leaving no scrap behind. I like it!
Once again King Mike, ruler of Dumpster Land has had a fantastic haul! He got some really cool things,. Take care and have a Happy New Year with your family and friends. Waiting for that next video.😃🤟🏻👏🏻✌🏻🛻☯✝☮♉
🎊🎊Heres to a new year of scrapping mike and the many treasures to come. Those snapper flip flops were the Bomb, might have to get myself a pair.
Watching this wearing my long-sleeved save the trash panda shirt. Thanks for all the adventures this year. Looking forward to another year of awesomeness in the dumpsters and curbside.
33:15 That aluminum tile edging when installing ceramic, mostly used for a podium bath and such. Happy New Year everyone!
love your videos and how excited you get when you find wire. keep up the good work.
Mike you should load the lottery app to check tickets that you find in dumpsters. It just takes seconds to check them. People have found winning tickets in the trash. I have too.
Enjoy your diving. Oh, use a mask, so as to not breath all the particles. Huah? We don’t want to lose you Mike.
Be always gentle with your good self. Your videos are uplifting. Blessings upon you for a good 2022.
Mike those electrical boxes are worth their weight in gold right now
That was some amazing luck you had there, hopefully there will be a few more good nights like that xxx
That was like going Christmas shopping at the thrift store. Awesome finds. Did I spy some copper tubing in that A/C unit? That’s some good stuff there.
MTSS-- MIKE THE SUPER SCRAPPER!!!!!!!! You SCORED BIG TIME awesome video like always thankyou I had a blast
Idk why this stuff is so fascinating to watch maybe the little scavenger in all of us
Mike scavenger fenomenal ....um abraço de Brasil .....
If those PS3s have four USB plugs in front if them, then they are the backwards compatible PS3 that can play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games on it. Those ones are worth more $. Either way great finds. Thanks for the great video!
4 ports instead of the 2.
and a big look out, for Hermes the courier company in great Britain. you guys/lady's are helping a whole lot in bringing the goods right to our front door and posting it. :-)
33:25 These guards go on the corners of drywalls or other walls so you have the corner protected or to get a sharp corner when you have brick walls with plaster on it. We have the same things in Germany. We used them all over our house.
Mike I hope you and your family have a safe and joyous New Year 2022.
The game systems you found today is one of your better scores. The Cisco switches still go for some money. From one of my collection I picked up over a month ago there was a Wii and a 32" samsung TV. I gave the Wii to someone that had one go missing and the TV I gave to her mother. All in all not a bad find that day.
I love watching your videos! My grandfather was a scrap metal guy in the early 1900's in South Dakota! I think it's in my blood! But, for me, I am a retired nurse, so see things through that lens. In the videos you shoot at night, there is often a CLOUD of plaster dust flying around when you are flinging things into your truck! Do you ever worry about what you are inhaling with all of that dust flying around - particularly in the open tops!? It would likely be wicked hot, but you might want to consider wearing a mask! I worry about your lungs!! Carry on and Happy New Year!
Virtual reality scrapping game, now that might be fun. 🤔
Look like you have some good scrap today more to come good luck and be safe
Aw Happy New Years to you and the wifey and fur babies! They are blessed to have you guys as parents !!!🤗💖
That was a very good score and the thumb nail of the video was very good too. Too bad for me there’s no dumpster diving in my country.
That’s a really fun Beasties movie!
Playstations alone makes your night worth it. good luck next year i will keep watching
I have said it before I can't believe that people throw away good things... Keep it up Mike... Happy New Year to you and your family 🎊🎊🎊
Think someone Was trown out of ther Apartment
@@foxtrondemonprotector4051 That was most definitely a family's stuff. No man or kid that is into gaming would throw all of their consoles out like that. Plus all the DVD's. Hope they land on their feet and get back some of what they lost.
@@justinw9982 or thy were just litary evictat idk how to spell that anyway thy were trown out by thy Land lord
That’s a hack of a find 👍🏻 congrats Mike. Would be awesome when I could find such nice stuff. I wish you a happy new year. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
your not in the US 😂 gotta work at the Wertstoffhof to "find" great stuff
Wake up Mike! You must be dreaming!!!! What a night! That was awesome!
Unbelievable haul !! WOW !!! That’s More than Fantastic. I love it when you take quotes from old movies, “Water World, piece of paper” and not long ago “The Princess Bride Indiego Montoya” I know I’m not spelling them right. Lol But they were fabulous movies eh ?!?! Peace until next time. ♥️😘🙏🇨🇦
They should make a VR game for scavaging, then we could dive with you lol
"I'm gonna be sore tomorrow from bending all of this pipe!" says Mike, while the rest of us wish we could say, "I'm gonna be sore tomorrow after layin' all of this pipe!!" LOL!!! Couldn't resist! One thing...I can just imagine how strong you are Mike. That's a lot of pipe to bend in one session!! I'm worn out just watching you! Dig, DmGrk
All That Wire and Conduit and Playstations and all that Grear and Games - Jackpot for sure ! Outstanding Dumpster Diving Adventure and what an Adventure it was ! We love it and many Cheers from all of us in Australia and a Happy and Healthy 2022 to You and all Your Loved Ones !!!!
I had just grabbed me a bowl of ice cream when you found that second dumpster & I thought, oh, this is gonna be good!! And it was!! Thanks!!
The dumpster gods were good this time, Mike!
Great stuff!
Here's a question for you Mike. Have you ever had someone throw something into a dumpster while you were in it. E.g. they didn't know anyone was in there and just tossed out their trash.
Yes it happened in one of his videos a while ago
@@recycle9119 wow.
😂😂😂heads up buttercup
That sheet metal reminded me that I want to try out my hands at making cookie/polyclay custom cutters. It reminded me of shop class forty-five years ago.
@discflickerDotcom Thank you for honoring your father this way. It touched me. My own father died when I was 13 months old so I never got to know him or have a significant step father to fill the void of his life lost. It sounds like your father was a stand up kind of guy. Much respect. Also, the sounds and smells of our childhood best memories are amazing tools to keep the memory alive. Thanks for sharing. Blessings and respect to you and yours.
Hye Mike, after x mas you are very lucky so many scrap you take it, I hope you are sukses everyday, good job Mike,, 👍👍👍from 🇲🇾 support you dumpster diving,,
Wow! So much wire and electrical scrap
Then all those games!
You got Christmas twice!
I had a Mike the scavenger marathon The other day 👍 Pop corn and beer 🍺😃
Happy & safe New Year!! Thanks for the good trips scrapping!
Orrighttt...NICEEE!!! I really enjoyed it! Thnx Mike! Till next video.
HAVE PROSPEROUS DUMP DIVING NEW YEAR,GOD BLESS YOU
Wow! What a score Mike! Good for you! Thank you.
No scrap left behind get it all!
Wow. Just wow.
"A dude or chick or both" cracked me up!!!! Love you Mike!
Hey Mike, What a hull. Great night to go out dumpster diving for sure. Now you have games to play or movies to watch on the rain nights.
Hopefully we all will have a Healthy New Year.
I think the reason I watch at least 10 episodes every day is so that I NEVER FORGET to recycle or reuse or donate to others BEFORE just simply dumping something in a dumpster. I forwarded this particular episode out to FB in hopes that people will stop being SO WASTEFUL... it is so disheartening how people just don't care - out of sight... out of mind. I'm glad you find all these things and recycle/reuse/retail them out. You are DEFINITELY a hard-working man, FUNNY, and you seem to be very conscientious. MUCH Love & RESPECT... Deborah
Hi Mike it's good night for you I hope in New year all nights like this for you and Luke for every one
A good long one as well.🥳
Awesomeness for sure stay safe stay blessed stay amazing
Bro what a blessing to pull up to an open top with all that scrap and NO heavy stuff to lift off the top of it.
Happy New Year to you ,wife and pups
Every time you make a song reference you have that song stuck in my head!😂…Oh why must I feel this way…hey must be the money! 💴 🎵 🎶
