  • 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.

    Yo Mikey! Killer score on the computer scrap! I know you got a computer guy who you take your comp scrap to, but you should look into separating it your self. it's super easy to dissemble, and doesn't take up to much real estate to store. Make a pile/ bin for those high grade mother/server boards. Remove the CPU's , memory sticks, heat sinks, power supply, hard drives and make separate piles for each. Memory sticks can fetch you a pretty penny reselling them online, depending on how much GB of memory they hold.
    P.s. doing a dump run at my local dump I recently found a huge pile of pencil thick copper wire, after stripping it I got 2.80$ a lb for it from my scrape yard. Thats top dollar for bare bright copper wire here in Hawaii, It was a quick 300$. Keep up the good work🤙🤙

    Fantastic first dumpster with those power supplies you found. I use them in some of my transmitter I use. I have a very old wind up bakerlite chart recorder I found and have it as a art deco. Have a good week. When are you going to have another video of the puppy's ?

    You should try and take those toner cartridges to office max/depot! They give $2 per cartridge max 10 a month! You could just grab one and see if they take it. That fresh dumpster is being super nice to you!! That office chair came in ah day too! Hope that guy from your last video doesn’t find it!!

    I found some mystery metal yesterday. It's only a small amount. About 6" long and about twice as thick as clothes hanger wire. It's color is dull grey, it's very heavy, strong, and hard. I could not bend it. It also is not magnetic. Any idea what this metal might be?

  • @johnmccanntruth
    @johnmccanntruth Год назад +1

    Yes, definitely need a follow up! All that cool computer and aluminum stuff.
    Also, do boards and memory type stuff no longer bring any money? I thought they were worth something for the precious metals on them…?

    That was amazing. Those magnets you pulled out with the strap not only had the weight to deal with but the magnetism added an additional complexity! Wondering how you are going to break them apart to remove them 1 by 1 from your truck! Your follow up is going to be more exciting than the find! I am really excited. I am thinking engine hoist for removal of the magnetic steel. Please think it through and be careful. You are the best! I am always so excited when you videos hit! I especially enjoy when you repurpose things so they remain useful while skipping the entire scrap cycle. The Scrap collection sale and use process must be amazing!
