  • 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 have been watching MTS for six weeks. I am 67, and watch Mike's channel every day and night. After watching a MTS episode, I was in the laundry room, and saw a large tempered glass/stainless steel lid in the trash bin, that a tenant had tossed on moving day out. It took the lid back to my apartment, and it was the exact fit for my Cuisinart frying pan. I felt so proud that Mike taught me the fundamentals of Scavenging, at age 67. Free goods feel good.
