  • 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.

      The vintage chairs are worth money to collectors, but other than that, remove the steel rivots and scrap the aluminum clean, if you're scraping them.

    The Tonka sand loader. It's from 1962, that model is a 616 in the condition it's in which is pretty good actually they normally sell between 60/120 dollars.

    Old-timer told me years ago when I was buying and selling a lot more back then that you should always check paintings. He told me that old timers from back in the day didn't really put their money in Banks they either hid it in books or pictures/paintings or buried it.

      I remember as a kid playing with my brand new Tonka toys that I got for Christmas... it wasn't till years later as an adult that my dad told me he bought them all beat up and re painted them (he was a body mechanic for the city). My parents didn't have much. But us kids never knew that at the time.

    The invertor is for a solar panel They mount one on each panel. It changes the DC to AC. Each module is independent, and can communicate the output of the panel it is connected to.

    • @volkhen0
      @volkhen0 2 года назад +4

      I guess these microinverters are not as reliable as I thought. Or maybe someone cooked them under the panel with not enough ventilation.

    You should never pass up any kind of dresser or drawers without inspecting them. Once I found 3 $100 bills taped underneath a nightstand drawer. Years later I found $1,300 tape to the bottom of a dresser underneath the last drawer. Obviously the people who threw them out didn't know what was in there. Probably someone passed away and their relatives just threw them out. So always pull out the drawers and check them before you pass them up.
