  • 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.

    Last thing I remember, I was
    Running for the door
    I had to find the passage back
    To the place I was before
    "Relax, " said the night man

    That is definitely a 1976 vintage Hotel California album, in pretty good condition. There's not a barcode UPC or a website address on the album. I had a friend in university that was a huge Eagles fan. She hated when I called them the Beagles! Wonder where she is now?
    In '71 I was out of the country! (To answer your keg question).

      A place in the woods would be great for anyone. To bad they are usually a bit of a drive from the urban jungle and the recycle center. Sacrifice is hard but we all know he will get what he's digging for someday. That chunk of land with the wood shop out back. And by the way he's getting it. no doubt that future property will have a pool, guest house, and I'm assuming he likes to dabble in the garden as well. 😉

      The framed album of Hotel California was a thing people did to display albums for their artwork, especially near the temporary end of albums (caused by CD's) to keep their albums relevant. Whoever tossed that album probably didn't realize what they were tossing, probably thought they were just tossing a picture.

    Well I didn’t have any doubts that Dottie could handle anything you can put in her. She’s proven herself time and time again. 😉 The album likely was framed to keep it from getting any more damage. The value will just continue to go up on it. Now for the Big question of the day, how much money are you going to get out of that dryer ?? I forget how much you got before, but it was quite a bit. 😘😘♥️♥️🇨🇦

    WOW. Dotty is squatting for sure. Filled her to the max and then some. That was a heck of a load. You really need to be careful lifting all the heavy items. Your young but not invincible. Take it from a paraplegic who thought they were invincible, or at least thought nothing like that could ever happen to me. After all, I was young,31, and worked out everyday. Ran 100 flights of stairs daily, ran not jogged 5 miles several times a week. Power lifted weights daily. But all it took was pulling on something the wrong way one time. It took 5 seconds, YES 5 SECONDS, to change mine,my brand new husband and 4 childrens lives forever. Please stay safe and God Bless Mighty Mike

You remind me of my Dad, he never could pass up digging through a pile of junk by the side of the road and I am the same way! I have bought home some great stuff that we have used until there nothing left to use. The tie wire episode was soooo fun and I am amazed you were able to lift forty-five 70 pound boxes and not even be sore the next day! At 64 I can really appreciate that, just taking the trash to the end of the driveway some days levaes me sore the next day!
