- 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!
Scrapping is the most truthful and honest job on this planet.
The inlay on the chopsticks holder looks to be mother of pearl
That’s it!
From abalone shell.
@@MikeTheScavenger I was going to say the same thing he beat me to it they usually use it in a lot of guitar making and the detailing keep up the good scrapping Mike
@@MikeTheScavenger That's a beautiful box!! It looks it might be mother of pearl inlay and by the color of the wood, probably rosewood. Expensive little chopsticks and an expensive little box to boot! I can't believe that someone tossed that out! Wowzer!
Former part time scrapper here, you have the best scavenger videos out there in my opinion. I tried to watch a few others but it was like all they were after was the high dollar stuff, cutting cables and such but I like that you go for it all. Keep doing what you do and I'll keep watching
Shocks me how some YT channels have a million subs , when Mike should have 2-3 million easy ... Share the SCAVENGER with everyone .
It’s February 2022 and there is a huge shortage of metal on the market. Thank goodness for peeps like Mike who keep this metal in our economy. Watch yo head!
19:11 If you smash these fluorescent tubes like this it will be mercury vapors coming out for 15 minutes there to breathe in, not good, try avoiding this.
19:56 Yellow 6x9" speakers, might be polypropylene, but mightbe real kevlar too, kevlar is good for sound quality, light weight makes a precise sound.
Have them in your truck if they still makes sound that is..? May have been played too loud or for too long. Test with a 1.5 volt battery, it you see movements and hear a click then they're good to go. Often the tweeters die if played too loud. But you can still use the yellow bass speakers on them taking away the tweeter rack and maybe put some other tweeters there as replacements in the coaxial stock setup. Or even add some tweeters on the dashboard ofthe car as a addition by itself. There is capacitors and possibly inductor coils used as a crossover, use them parts for the new tweeter setup to get a ok'ish working crossover.
20:22 Yeah, there you go, you got some replacement tweeters impressingly fast here, faster than that it cant be done :)
JBL is a good brand name, they could possibly be titanium horn tweeters. Test them with a 1.5 volt battery the same way, if a click sound then they're likely good.
The suspension in speakers may still be damaged or the voice coil glue inside them may have looesened. But you can hear if they are playing good or not by testing them further with a wire from a portable radio or something that makes sound for speakers.
22:55 This may be a magazine or newspaper rack perhaps?
23:16 Saw some wood and mix the sawdust with some wood glue and use it as a filler with your fingers and smoothen it out and voila the wood box will be fine again ready to use :)
24:15 Thank you for reminding me to put a new toothbrush on my shopping list, i use the soft one too :)
Breaking it down!😂
Rant
we like this 4 ever one good advise
They say that laughter is the best medicine. Well, your shows are healing me. I love it.
Little bit of PT in the morning takes you back to formation. Haha! TEN HUT SON! 😀
Strongman Mike tossing scrap! Attach that big old speaker magnet on the end of a stick. Boom!💪
Mother-of-pearl is what you were trying to remember, as for what that inlay is on the chopstick box. Basically it's interior of sea shells.
22:58.... It's a GLASS MAGAZINE RACK Mike... I've never seen one before either
I never knew I liked scrapping until Mike came across my screen . It’s like this most of the videos I watch . The one thing people lack in a lot of channels is personality and you my friend have it in spades makes the videos much more enjoyable.
Dear Mike , you really was raised to be a wonderful ,funny ,hard working man ........your family really contributed to your non stop determination to succeed in everything that you venture to tackle. You give us so much fun and laughter watching your scavenging in the urban jungle and listening to your hilarious antics with Dotty .. I wonder if you should wear some important face protection while in the dumpsters ....... that might guard your important eyes and breathing from all the stench of the juicy ,wet dumpsters.
Amen
hey mike
nice
Stoves are the heaviest. Mike "BeastMode" Scavenger!
Mike the scavenger and scrap and pallet the best vidio
What it is , Brother Paul?! Still searching for that wire stripper manuel. But have another true gag gift and it involves the phrase " MY PRECIOUS" Column saying. 😂 You will ge a gas from it! 😂

Dynamic Duo boys MIKE THE SCAVENGER AND SCRAP N PALLET MAN. IN THE HOUSE
hope mike's wearing a back brace cos if/when it snaps, ouch! it's never the same again.
How can anyone dislike Mike's videos this guy is funny as hell.
Enjoy watching Mike do his thing. The best show on CZcams. Look forward to all new shows and still trying to catch up with all the old ones, Mike keep up the AWESOME work very entertaining.
That's true, I follow From Lima Peru, South America
Mike, just keep it coming and we will be here.
Trampoline frames make superb greenhouse frames...
Great idea Alex.
"And such" i love it!
That narrow glass vase in the stand may have been for bamboo plants that grow in water.
Or a magazine holder for the bathroom? Maybe.
Great curbside and dumpster scrapping two thumbs
That glass vase is for displaying your favorite frisbee.
I use to scrap before I got disabled. I sometimes pick stuff up in my handicap van with my dad. I brought home some bed frames an drilled the rivets out to have something to do. An now I piled up the angle iron an waiting to use the for projects later. We also picked up a trampoline an a few lawnmowers an some other metal.
A great day for you Scavy,Jackpot on two dumpsters,💯🆓💯🆓
That mental frame is a rack that hangs down from rafters in garage for storage. Totes fit in them perfectly.
Mike has a truck and just filled it up so let’s give a thumbs up
Mother of pearl on that chopstick box.
Love that theme song. Always makes me smile.
Git-er-Dun.....You tha man..... Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Were I live I see dumpsters all over the place, at machine shops, stores, ect. Your vids make me want to get a old used truck and go scavenging, keep on scraping BIG MIKE, AND ILL KEEP WATCHING, TAKE CARE, AND STAY OUT OF THE JUICE !!!!
Scraptastic Day!
Nice pile of scrap n junk bro Mike.. The Scavenger does it again.. 👍😊🤙😎
Mike is a fun Scraper !!!
HI Mike great video great scrap load .
It always amazes me just how much stuff gets thrown away. We live in such a wasteful society these days.
The glass thing on a stand is a Magazine Rack which would sit beside the lounge suite for Mums magazines. Popular in the 60s and 70s.
Good job scrapping today 👍
Yes mike happy hunting
that wooden jewelry box is pretty neat i bet mrs mike the scavenger would like that lol
"Scraptastic" load! That Samsung box almost got the best of ya!
That flat grid piece is a ceiling storage unit. $70-$80 in the store.
I have been doing what you do for over 20 years goodjob Mike ND it's a good thing seeing prices are going up
Love it when a dumpster keeps on giving.
Awesome haul making that money money money
Always with the awesome stuff
You put out consistently great content for those of us who do, or like to watch scrapping videos.
The glass is a flower vase. For any type of cut You can grow daffodils or tulips in them.
Looks more like a magazine rack to me
@@ChrisBarrow-617 lololol
Thank you for another great awesome video. You found some good scrap. 😀👍❤🇨🇦
Did you see a skeleton leg bone in the back of the pick up at 2:26?
Mother of pearl
Omg! I love this video dumpster diving and curbside 😍 you find the coolest stuff, love the box and much love to you too Mike❤️ your fans in SC🥰😎🤘🏻
I just recently scrapped out a microwave and now I'm drooling every time I watch you or e-waste Ben pick one up.
Great haul! It’s mother of pearl 🌸
Getting the display TV was the best I laughed out loud
And ignore the thumbs down on your video's.
Mike...
Lots of Jealousy mate.
You make me roll up laughing 🤣🇬🇧
Went to the right person!😊
Just put some felt down in the bottom of the wooden box. It's beautiful!!! Sell if you don't want it. Too pretty to throw away.!😎
Street and Dumpster Diving Adventure - Lots of Fans - Windows - Wire and Lights - wow - that was Brilliant - You are so lucky sniffing out these Dumpsters Time and Time again - we love it ! Blessings from us in Australia !!!!
The shiny stuff on the box is mother of pearl inlay beautiful….
DOTTIE NEEDS A TRAILER.
You said we got to "Fill up this puppy" I thought her name is Dottie? LOL!!!!
Mother of pearl is the the name of the pattern of on the chopsticks box.👍
Good job.
Three times screens you've found. I think that's special.
that box is awsome
I hope Mike never becomes a hoarder because he can stack a shit ton of stuff in a small space. I'm always thinking the video must be about over because Dottie is definitely stuffed, Mike grabs two more refrigerators a dishwasher and an oven! 🤣
Thanx Mike
Good job young man! It’s awesome the way you grab the appliances and just throw them in the truck with out a problem!! I love your videos!!!
:Monitoring your arm...." 🤣
Hey Young Mike that is abalone shell or mother of pearl, mini Asian cultures use that along with Jade in furniture and a host of things. Yes that’s abalone shell and then polished off sometimes set in lacquer…
How did I miss this one, shaking my head lol nice one, stay safe stay blessed stay amazing 👏 🙏 💓
another good run nice load
The man who has it all gets it all and more!
Lovely mother of pearl inlay! Great video as always!
Was a good day, congrats, I follow you From Lima Peru, South America. I saw all your videos every Night Iam asleep until 4am all days hehehe
Everyone passes by the dumpster in plain sight.
Decorated chopsticks are not for eating. Good luck Mike! 👍
Its scrapio, on his scraptastic voyage yall!!!
I love a Swingline stapler!!
Great job Mike beat the cord cutter shout out from the Bahamas
Keep up the awesomeness!
Did anyone see the skeleton leg in the pick up at 2:26?
you could sure make a NICE screen house with all those screens
Let’s help get Mike to 400k subs! He works hard for the money!
Nice if the people are out, you thank them for the scrap. You'll get more that way. They should know if they get a new appliance, you may take away the old.
Shhhcream and shhcream for scweems, love yo stuff Mike, makes me laugh, mind yo head,mind yo head. From Mal Uk
go mike ,go mike .general mike nuh respect 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 scrap a de scrap
Another nice haul again Mike, look for the vids daily. There are many guys and gals doing these vids but none like the original Host With The Most. Those bulbs bro the white coating is toxic bro becareful not to breath that suff in! Safety First!
Who else saw the skeleton leg bone in the back just when he was picking up that table thing at 2:26
Solid day - that glass thingy is very cool. Love me some aluminum screens and such. Happy Hunting!
Thanks for taking us along on your urban quest. Have you considered contacting a sociologist at you local college? As a student (decades ago) our urban studies professor had us survey trash in various neighborhoods and report our findings. There must be some correlation between ceiling fans and window screens while all the fluorescent and halogen lighting fixtures are probably being upgraded to LEDs to save power.
Stay safe out there. Peace brother
That rack thing you were wondering about is a garage ceiling storage shelf
Hey Mikey be careful shattering tube lights the glass is really thin
Wear clear goggles getting them out of light fixtures don’t get any
In your eyes. That’s a warning to all divers.
That is the least of his worries! The mercury vaper in them is highly poisonous!..
Mike is immune to the mercury poisoning and eats glass shards for breakfast.
So Mike is God?💪
@@diggingindiana1464 scrap god of his region.
I think the chopsticks box is inlaid with abalone (the inside of shells).
I was going to say the same thing. 👍🏼
down here in New Zealand we call them 'Paua', from the Maori language. peace
Great video as always Mike. We love that wooden box you found on the curb. The day for window screen. Banana 🍌
Scrap and Stuff 🤘👍🏼🍺 abalone shell chop stick box
Those florescent fixtures in the last bin look almost old enough that the ballasts might have PCBs in them. Ballasts made after PCBs were banned all are labeled PCB free. If they don't say then they contain PCB and should be taken to the hazardous waste drop off. Keep them out of the shread pile.
that glass thing looks like it'd be a magazine/newspaper rack kinda thing
I thought it looked like a vase for making a centerpiece on a long table.
I believe you find the old lights have more scrap on them for sure and they are heavier.
Damn, those screens are necessary here in Puerto Rico not for scrapping but to keep out monster mosquitoes ‼️🙏👍✌️
ةة .
وممتىظة
👍👍👍cool Mike
Can we ever watch you clean the wire please I watch both an they are the best god bless you and your family
You r great mike
Mother of pearl inlay.
Goodmorning mike.
