  • 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.

      Agreed. Many don't realize that what he does, keeps tons of metal out of landfills as well. He provides a service, makes a little coin and helps the environment. ~ Not a thing in the world wrong with that. There is so much waste in this world, it is crazy. Re-purposing and recycling are the way to go.

      Did you ever have your surgery? If so, how did it go?
      I’m only asking because I’ve had multiple back surgeries, and now have titanium and screws up & down my spine….so can relate to your predicament. God bless and I hope you’re now up and getting around better. ❣️✌🏻

    For the futuer. Freon cans are recyclable. You just have to verify they are empty. Write empty on it and put a hole in it so they know it's not under pressure.

    Mike I just gotta say thank u, I look forward to watching a video or 2 after a hard day. U are funny and pretend we’re w u in the scavenging. Bless u and ur wife.. One thing I think u should do is pull t truck closer to the dumpster so u don’t have to work as hard, also maybe carry an extra pair of shoes and socks w u in case of any juice or paint or anything else 🤮. Also maybe carry a shovel w u and when stuff is on top of good stuff idk maybe take some stuff out, but then again u know better ur diving into the grody dumpsters. Our love to all of yours, please stay safe…

    Great video, as usual, but I about cried when you tossed that earpiece. That was a Plantronics Voyager Legend, same one I use when I'm driving truck. It can not only answer calls, it "announces who’s calling - just say 'Answer' or 'Ignore.' Simply tap the voice command button to check battery level, connection status, and more. Interact with Siri, Google Now, or Cortana by pressing the call button." Running $99 on Amazon. Smart of you to keep the hand bags to more closely examine later. Stay safe, Mike!

    Coin shortage is dropping off in major metro areas already, judgments for small claims and civil stuff (like default medical/credit) have exploded in some places in number. Manufacturing is starting to pop back up and with the issues with China supply is having to be sourced locally so I'd imagine most metals will be on an uptick, which is great for the scrapping community!
