  • 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!

      I think most security is to prevent dumping more than anything else. Dumping literally costs the company more money, while someone taking stuff out of the dumpster saves them money.

    Hey Mike. As an older lady without a lot of muscle, I used the step up method I learned from you to help me lift a dishwasher into my trailer. Yes, I know that they aren't that heavy, but am having arm issues. So used a air fryer in the box, to step it up. Made it so much easier. Thank you so much, for your tips, as well as the entertainment you bring.

    That flashlight at around the 27:10 mark is a mag-lite. I have one. Mine uses C or D type batteries, maybe 3 or 4 at a time. The older style ones used old fashioned bulbs (hence expensive to run), but they could be adapted to use modern LEDs to save power and the environment.
    That's a good torch.

    Mike the king of the used power tools.
    The batteries are most likely dead and would cost too much to replace. In my travels I fixed the old packs with nickel metal hydride. I won't use Lithium Ion.
    There might be a new law being put in place because of all the fires.
    Sometimes I make up an external battery pack and make my equipment light weight.
