- 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 passed a scrapper on the road and hollered scrappity scrap scrap. My husband called me a weirdo, lol
Lol
Now that’s funny
I've tried watching other scrapping channels and they just don't have the same heart. Someday you may be a household name, somehow very entertaining.
I like the way you cleanup after the picking, appreciate the care you take for the community. You deserve to be a role model for those who throw garbage everywhere.
@Cyril Zachery don’t care.
Just bought my hubby and I two " Scrappity, Scrap, Scrap! " Hoodies and one " Gotta Be Strong " sticker for the truck! Your the only You Tuber we wanted to support. Keep up the good work guys.
Those five black boxes are computers, used in offices which are connected to a remote data base, and so on. My Dr's office converted over to them a couple years ago. I was amazed at how small they are! They may have hard drives, of the laptop size. Pretty nice!
They are terminals that you Attack to the As400 and you can see green letters on a black screen .I repair them at work the make in Italy are Compumaster model XT7 they have a Power adatter 12v
Before I go to bed each night, I say a lil something to the scrap gods, that you stay safe and get that money.
Hello Mike, my name is Juan and I am from Spain, I recently discovered your channel and your videos hooked me, I love the spirit of improvement that you have and that you transmit, it is clear that you do not do it for fun or for pleasure, I do not know if this It will be your livelihood or an extra income but it is clear that it is to admire what you do and with the sense of humor that you put into it. A big hug Mike and keep it up.
Lift with your legs there, Scrappenger, no injuries allowed. Take good care of the Dotster, you need each other. We all need you too. Keep on dumpin'. Hope to see another scrap run pretty soon. We all love you, too. Be safe.
✌
P. S.- Watch yo head, watch yo head. Anyone else duck down as Mike goes through one of those side-entry dumpsters? You know, the ones that hurt his belly?
Love that you are helping keep stuff out of the landfield. Keep up scraping.
Another good adventure Mike.... thanks enjoyed it...
Good blog Mike thanks for another adventure
That big trash bag with the little trash bag on top looks like a dumpster ghost,LOL.
9:44 hehe) that metal door is from an alarm system box. Has all the "zones" written on it , like 4. lobby motion, 3. hallway motion and so on. When a system like this is swapped out, most of the time, zone numbers stay the same even if controlling unit is different. Having this, and gaining access to the new box, you could disable only parts you want. And you wouldn't believe where people can lead you to if you have a clipboard and a couple screwdrivers sticking out of your pocket, little to no questions asked.
Enjoyed your video. Lots of great finds. God bless you and be safe 😊
Someone who is a prepper would love the shelf
Mike I caught myself sayin outloud Get them snibbits. So funny. Good luck n Happy hunting. Blessings !!!
Just a little smooches, love the smooches it usually means a good find
Thank's for placing a smile on my face. Today was a tough day.
Awesomesauce indeed!
Glad to see you celebrating St Patrick’s day. My wedding anniversary. 50 years in 2023
All the green dumpsters will be lucky🍀🍀🍀❤
Love watching your vídeos Mike.We watch you on our tv all the time.
I love how that large dumpster door opens!
Hello Mike glad to see you out scavenging love your videos you make me laugh keep making them please got to get some scraping scrap
Just gotta say awesome videos man and thanks for the download. Just in time for my flight to Arizona
It amazes me that you park next to the dumpster, but instead of putting your goodies in your truck, you put them on the floor, Crazy man 🤣🤣🤣
Love what you do. Wasn't expecting to see another video today, but very glad it's here. It's been one Very long, hard day and it's so awesome to be able to sit back, relax, and watch you get after it Mike. Get mo scrap. Thanks once again for letting us tag along. So enjoyable.
Later Mike. . . . .
WOW that’s the first time I’ve ever watched you and you Haven’t been Very enthusiastic about getting FULL Boxes of wire. Then you even left some pieces in the dumpster !?!?😳😳 Aren’t you feeling very well ?? 🌈🌈🙏
Good luck to you as well, I'm watching this in Belfast County Antrim, good to see all that metal saved from landfill.
Well then. There fore your N. IRISH. ie British.. Plus the Irish never ending up being that Lucky after all, now that there Governance is in fact Germany. Just saying. 😏
@@theboywithathorninhisside.4179 I'm from Belfast northern Ireland also what does all that have to do with what he said.
People born in northern Ireland are actually both british and Irish they can carry an irish passport or uk passport or both.
So no not necessarily british if that's not how he identifies I mean it's not like we are speaking quantum physics or anything it's pretty straightforward it's always funny to see people who know jack about my country speak about it.
@@aaronjames463 Neutral during the War.. But in reality, gradually become Ruled via Da German's control on the EU either way. Your welcome. 👌

@@theboywithathorninhisside.4179 northern ireland fought in both world wars hombre learn you're history ffs.
I would like to see more of the curbside pick up please.
Absolutely LOVE the socks!!!!!
Mike the scavenger saving the landfill, nice job
Anyone else see the dime at 3:35 and get excited? ha ha And another one at 25:05
look at all that scrappity goodness!
Mike, last few videos you've sounded tired. Take care of yourself!!! Scrappity scrap scrap!!❤
I don't understand my fascination with you scrapping but I do enjoy watching you.
Another nice collection of scrap
The sound effect at 16:17 was hilarious
you need to get an old mail truck (van) with no door so you can hop out quickly and efficiently
Yes sir Another good Quality Video from my bro.. keep it up and keep safe out there Much loved From Philippines
Check that open top again tomorrow, the rest of the shelf might be in it.
I use the DJI Osmo Action. It their version of a Go Pro. I’m a Metal Detector on CZcams and it cuts the wind down to nothing. Been out in 40 plus winds with it. It’s a lot easier to use plus you have a screen on both sides you can flip around.
Took a break from the beach and started dumpster diving since the first of February. I’m over $3000. After watching your videos it made my hunting a lot easier. Haven’t made any videos yet but I will soon.
Sweet awesome sauce brother!!!! 😎😎😎 Another great video!!!!!! Some scrap prices are going up recently so that is more awesome!!!!!! awesome sauce!!!!!!! Keep it up and happy scrapping, get all those snibits!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
The electronics you found looks like the device for camera systems that you hook to a tv or monitor
Hello Mike!
Nice video!
+100500!
Good Luck!
Mike , I've been watching you shows and I enjoy every one but here's a tip for you if you come across a dumpster that has lots of things for you take your time and take get all of the treasures that's in that dumpster cause you never know if the other dumpster has anything for you don't just take half and leave , you went a long way make the best of each dumpster this is coming from a friend in Missouri , take care & be safe out there .
"be sure to wear your green for St Patty's Day"
CZcams added a Ireland commercial...
Can't wait to see you micro that computer. We had one like that in our dining room in the 90s. Good find
Happy in your happiness (SUCCESS)! CRAZY GOOD STUFF!
The shrouds on those CRT monitors are often made out of stainless too, it's pretty light but when you get a few of them it really adds up.
Right in the middle of watching a lottery scratcher channel....EHHH I got history to go back....Came straight here....
I get gassed that you find so much wire lol. We go out scavenging most nights and are lucky to get anything lol. We do get some snipp'its from time to time though, we've been lucky and had a few kilos on a couple of occasions. Our urban mining expeditions are for melting, but I don't think we'd be diving for our stuff if it wasn't for you! Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures Mike!
Hey Mike have a great day, I really enjoy your videos you no we love ya so take care of yourself, you seem tired or something so if you don't I'ma do some praying for you. Your greatful friends in SC😎🤟🙏💐
oh, those boxes of cable are coax plus 2 wire for security cameras, coax foe the video, 2 wire for dc 12V to power camera.
The old plastic tool boxes like Dewalt drill cases. I cut the insides out and get black foam and turn them into case's for guns or cameras 📷 or whatever. It's a cool way to hide guns or whatever.
I checked out rocking timber. Absolutely beautiful. That little girl is talented
House of Pain - "The luck of the Irish it spreads like a virus... so feel it!!"
I dont know about ya'll but each video makes me go outside and dumpster dive😂💪💪
Pretty nice pick up.
Saving the plant one dumpster dive at a time! 👌🏻
gotta be strong mike LOL
Good job.
Hey Mike..Your St Patrick Day socks bought you good luck for finding that good scrap..Take care and stay safe..See you on your next scrap diving..
AwesomeEverything
I watch your video every time ones comes out. It amazes me what people throw out and I’m happy you get the benefits from them!!
There should be separate bits for the shelf that hang in them holes long triangular brackets I have them in the shop with MDF across the tops! Them 2 bits screw to the wall you will need the hangers
You have some track for them shelf brackets in the back of your truck
I'd've grabbed a couple or three of those tote lids to replace missing ones or just to aid stacking lidless ones. Saves buying new ...
Another Awesome urban jungle ride
Awesome! It's scrapping time.
Love your socks. 🧦
A week ago, I found myself an HP medical-grade computer monitor. It works great. Baby's mine.
Another great video with some good finds.
Stay safe and God Bless
Hello from New Zealand.
You must have some Irish blood you mike.!
You always have the luck finding the scrap.
Keep it up dude.
Cheers
Glad im not the only kiwi here.
that bray box is a valve, we sell those where i work 😂😂
Keep going mike from virginia
The volume only goes down when Mikey bumps our heads.. OWWWW.🙂😆🤪😜😝😋
Great video Mike love watching you thank you.x from GB
Hi Mike, I enjoy watching you while dumpster diving. Be careful though do not climb and jump high. Been following your Vlogs and I enjoy it. Stay safe always.
Mike scrap scrap scrap 👏
Love the channel Mike , always entertaining and interesting, watch every upload. Just a tip, I am Irish born and bred and I live here. There is no such day as Patty's day, it's either St Patrick's day or Paddy's day. Patty is short for Patricia where as Paddy is short for Patrick. Just so as you don't drive your Irish viewers nuts. Keep scrapping Mike.
Win win win. Save the planet you make money and it reduces the cost the dumpster owner pays
just tell em to honk off lol
Always have a ball watching your videos thank you
Oh oh mikes picking scrappy scrappy again. I enjoy watching you. Wish I cud join u.
Should be named "Mike the Recycler" saving the planet one dumpster at a time. Cool videos that keep me out of dumpsters per the wife's request. I'm jealous of your dumpster finds. Keep it up Mike.
cable with coax and red/black are signal(video) and power for the camera.. Those monitors are called CRT and some have good resale value for people that want to make a retro setup
Look forward to you videos. ALWAYS.
Aaah! Cans!😵😆
Remember to short out the flyback transformer before you yank the copper yoke out of that CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor...if it hasn't been on in awhile it is probably ok...but you never know.
I came here to comment this. Be careful Mike!
Where has all the cat's been !!!!!
All was love your videos. Good luck finding the good stuff. Be safe
Mike my man, been watching you for awhile now and I still smirk when I hear you sayin snibbets 👍🤣
I love all your videos your camera does a great job so does your sound if somebody can understand......on them. I thank you so very much and appreciate all that you do for our enjoyment to watch
I agree that Mike's camera still does a great job! 👌
If the sound goes down, I know how to increase the sound; and when it goes back up again, I know how to fix that too!
There's really no need to upgrade, unless it will make it easier for Mike! 🤗
Luck of the Irish! Happy St. Patty's Day, Mike🤑💲💲💲
Poured some bourbon and watching this new scrap run
He’s been liking that Marshall U t-shirt
Hey Mike GET that scrapidty scrap scrap. The mother board's are highly sought after snippets. Lovin the vids and hopefully you find a mother load of scrap.
Glad the luck of the Irish was with you! I’m only 4% Irish according to ancestry but I’ll take it and celebrate! The phone dumpster I was like take the body book it’s an usborne book those books are expensive! It’s also a good book my daughter loved it!
Stay well, another great video 😆
