  • 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'm with you kiddo. You are the first scrapper channel I started watching back in March when the pandemic hit and I like your style. Keep it up and save that metal from the landfill.

    Always entertaining. At the beginning I was wondering what it would look like from the outside to hear the biggest raccoon ever scrabbling around in the dumpster and then see stuff just flying out the side...hi-lar-i-ous!

    I see all that perfectly good wood in the trash and all I can think is of the trees that were cut down just to be tossed in the trash. That's frigging shameful. Someone needs to hold these wasteful businesses accountable.

You can just buy some pretty ribbons and vary the colors depending on your outfit. Thanks for another great video of scrappity scrap scrap. 😁💕😜

    Flask: That is an Erlenmeyer filtering flask. This is why it is so thick, and has one or more holes near the top for a vacuum pump. BTW, "Erlenmeyer" refers to the pattern, or shape of the glass. The ones with the ball like bottom and longer neck are called Florence flasks.
    If I had it, I would super glue it back together, and use it for a lamp base. The ugly damaged part could be covered, for instance by turning a wooden cap to mount the lamp socket on. You can drill a hole toward the bottom, using a hunk of copper tubing, with some saw cuts in the end, and using valve grinding compound with it. Doesn't take as long as one might think.

  • @TheBobdabob
    @TheBobdabob 4 года назад +2

    Mike, have you ever given any thought to maybe buying an old out of commission dumpster, painting it up with 'scrap metal only' on it and going to the places where you find the most scrap and seeing if they'll let you put it maybe behind or near their other dumpsters? Just a thought.
