  • 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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

    Mike makes me happy. I wish more people had his attitude. He is a funny, mostly happy, and upbeat person. I enjoy the finds and treasures and at first, I was really upset at humanity for the greed and waste but, Mike and ALL the other DD'ers out there make me feel better. Balance eh? lol

    Mike, you are the only dumpster diver who seems to have a knack for finding dumpsters that have unused and packaged items tossed inside. I'm waiting for you to come to a dumpster that the contractors or business decided to save time and throw in a truckload of cash.💸💸💸😀👍

    That Tuttnauer is a pressurized steam autoclave/sterilizer. Might sell for parts on eBay, but at least should have stainless steel parts! They aren’t cheap that’s for sure!

    If you want to test that head unit out, just get a 12 volt battery and hook the yellow and red wires up to the positive terminal and the black wire up to the negative terminal. You could just open up your hood and test it with your car battery real quick.

    Those lawn mower guys have no idea that they are viewing the great Mike The Scavenger at work. The greatest scavenger that ever lived, with over 205 thousand subscribers. Good call on the bird houses. I'll bet their well over a 100 years old. My brother-in-law makes them.

    The LED lights need a power supply which sold separately.
    You can test them with the right volts and apms.
    See the box or any stickers for electrical information if found.

  • @mariancrist5087

    If they are 120 volts you don't need a power supply. Just take a old drop cord and cut the end off of it and strip it back. Hook black wires together and the white wires together and plug in in a outlet. Love your videos!!!

    Those LED lights are 120 volt. They are for cans. that are in the ceiling. there is a socket that can go in were the bulb is. or you can get cans that have that plug on them already. I have both.

  • @lastmanstanding2622

    Whoever threw the LED lights away probably just wrote "Bad" on the box in hopes nobody would take them. Good find! Mike.

    If you want to check if its working, you can easily find a diagram online. Though aftermarket radios are often color coded. Like yellow is for +12v, red is for ignition +12v, black is ground, green, purple, white and grey are the speakers.

    very simple to check the deck if it’s working plug that little harness in the back of the deck connect a yellow and red wire together which is accessory and battery go to your car battery touch the yellow and red wire that’s connected together to the positive and the black wire to the negative the head unit will turn on Bingo Bango that turns on it works if it doesn’t turn on its no good very easy way to test any car stereo head unit
