  • 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!

      There used to be a time when older couples would go shopping together, the ladies would shop and the gentlemen would sit on benches in the malls and chat with other miserable men, wishing they were at home in their recliners watching sports. This next generation is going to have men VOLUNTEER to take their wives shopping and they’re going to drop them off at the doors and pull around back and socialize with their counterparts in the dumpsters. 🤣
      I just wish retailers would leave them alone, and not care WHO gets their unwanted goods/trash and feel good about letting things be recycled instead of filling our landfills. But what do I know? I’m a 60ish y/o, still hoping for world peace. ☮️ 🤷🏻‍♀️ 💔

Also businesses who are not privy to him diving in their dumpsters but might get weirded out for one reason or another and start locking them.

I really miss the loading up of Dottie, even you walking up to the dumpsters and punching the boxes back into them and twirling your stick, all your banter. Everything that you’ve done in the past was so much fun. You’ve got an incredible sense of humour. Thanks Mike for reading my email (if you were able to of course, lol) Please take care. 😊🌈♥️🇨🇦
