  • 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.

    When I see you pick though and get little pieces that just weigh a couple ounces it makes my heart glad. Most scrap guys won't mess with little pieces because there just isn't any money in it. When I see you get the little tiny pieces I know you're not doing it just for the money, you actually care about the environment and want to keep the stuff out of the landfill and recycled.

    Mike, what might be a good video is when you go to the scrap yard to turn your scrap in for $$, is to help those doing the same thing, to identify what metals are what, a good way to separate them, and if any are not worth taking. Thank you 🤓

    How does someone nominate Mike the Scavenger for an Environmental award in the State of Texas? First off, you guys down there are so far behind in recycling it isn't funny. Cardboard and metal in the dumpster is illegal in our area, but I am sure it still happens. I would like to ask all of Mikes followers to start a campaign towards recognizing Mike as a top contributor to saving the environment. Let's hear it for Mike the Scavenger.
    Amazing video and thanks for sharing. you made my day.

    Mike, the creed bottle was creed aventus. Depending on the batch number even the empty bottle can sometimes sell for more than 50$. I have a "vintage" bottle from 2015, mine still has cologne in it but empty its worth like 70$. Full ones from this year can be 1k a bottle now.
