  • 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.

      I found a construction sight had 3 pallet jacks in the roll-off. I grabbed all three. I took parts off one and fixed the other two. Sold one to a friend of mine now I wished I had not messed with them. I ended up concreteing the whole shop and some sidewalks so I could roll pallets around. They don't work to good on dirt.

    I had a little random luck dumpstering yesterday, someone tossed out a retro colored microwave that seemed to have never been used, stuffed with dishes (I didn't go for it, I don't need another Microwave). However, I scored a Coleman Red Canyon 10x17' tent, totally unused, an 8 pack of Disney trading pins (also unopened) and a 4 pack of Pokemon Pez (ditto), almost $200 score, the tent ranking in around $155 on Amazon, $25 for the pins, $12 for the Pez.

    So the oil field thing you didn’t know what it was is called a drift or rabbit. It’s used In wells that are completed and producing to help prevent scale build up, pressure in the well drops below a certain psi and the rabbit falls, pressure builds pushing the rabbit back up. The trick is catching it in the tree!

    The gears look like parts to tractors. I work up at John Deere. I’m a supervisor for a janitorial crew been up there 11 years. In Waterloo Iowa but I see lots and lots of that stuff every day.

    Those blower motors make good squirrel cage fans. I found one years ago and built a stand for it. I use it everyday out in my garage
