  • 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.

    Mike, love your adventures. A couple observations. 1) When you have to move stuff several times it costs time and time is the most valuable thing. 2) you unscrewed a steel A/C recharge can and left it. Minor thing but it cost you time to remove can when you were already keeping the gauge.

    Hi Mike. I posted this on a previous video but it probably already too many responses for you to read and I really wanted you to see this so I'm reposting here;
    Hi Mike, I hope you get a chance to read this. This is my story and your part in it. It started about 2 and a half years ago when I stumbled on one of your videos. Due to a health scare I had radically changed my diet. Not only did this change improve my health but resulted in a huge increase of energy and ambition. You inspired me to dive. I began looking for good saleable items. Like you I realized the vast scrap potential and started to drag home al the scrap I could find (yes, I say "scrapity scrap scrap". This led me to begin outright scraping. Putting up ads and ad picking up scrap. At the time I was driving a GMC Jimmy. At the time scrap prices were in the toilet. After about 6 months I realized that I didn't want to sell scrap at that price. Fortunately for me I didn't need the money and had the space to score scrap. They only thing I sold were good items. I scrapped hard, picking up scrap on my way home from work and breaking down scrap in my free time. I bought a shitbox truck, and eventually a 16 foot trailer. I started selling steel about a month ago. I'm still hanging on to my non ferrous. I have approx. 100,000 pounds of steel on hand and thousands of pounds of copper, aluminum, stainless, brass, and lead. I still dumpster dive but that s no longer my focus. I've made the decision to retire from my regular job at 59 years old and scrap full time. Right now I am recovering from a minor surgery that I wanted to take care of while I still had good insurance. After I recover I will put in my notice and become a full fledged scrapper. I now own 3 trucks, 2 trailers, a Bobcat skid steer, and most of the tools I need. I just wanted to tell you my story, your part in it, give you a big thank you, and say God bless you in your journey.

    He turns on the tread mill and the wood goes flying to a pile.
    Quick and easy.
    I use the motors to make wind generators. I use the controller board and add some components to do what I want.
    That recorder box you picked up might have the ssd in it.
    There is an event it us called Field Day.
    Qhe try e all the Amateur Radio Operators set up and this is done ones a year for contesting contacts all over the globe.
    It is an emergency preparation if all the communications was wiped off the Amateur Radio Operators can set up and be operational within One hour.
