  • 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 always appreciate how clean you leave things! I had a fridge out on the curb and a scrapper came by he unloaded some bundles of sticks in the street and then didn’t pick them all back up again! I had to go out and pick them up and put them in our yard waste bin. I was like Mike wouldn’t ever do that!!

    Mike, watching you go for the scrappy scrap scrap reminds me of my days back at the landfill back in the 70's. Yes a long time ago but I just can't believe what people throw away. It's always a pleasure to kick back with a cold one and watch you find all the treasures out there. 😁

    It was another really hot day today Mike. But then it rained something we haven't had in over 4 weeks. Wow I have fresh drinking water, water to take a shower. Mother Nature finally came in and gave us a good drenching. I enjoy living off the grid and I think things are finally starting to look up. Good to see you're out there still collecting. Good luck this week stay cool

    speaks more of what you are all about than just making a buck as what we give is what we get in life even with the small stuff ...God bless and good safe hunting

    You could probably sell those black garden doors, and those two really pretty lights. Also that metal garden set, if you painted it with rust paint you’d get a LOT more money then just scrapping them. And that’s a Huge Set. Here in Ontario Canada, we’d paid a ton for all that metal stuff. I mean, all of that is VERY PRETTY. And I have to say, in your dumpster videos, I really miss watching you pack up Dottie. It may sound strange but I do.
    Love you 😘🇨🇦

    @deathatsix 2 года назад

    Mike, a lot of times when those washers get stuck with water the pump is clogged with something small like a sock or something. It is easy to get the pump off and check it.
    If it is something plugged in the pump, pull it out with a screwdriver. Those things sell good used and it is way more than scrap price for little effort.
