  • 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.

    It's a good thing it wasn't dark when you saw those faces in the dumpster. If I had seen them in the dark I would have about had a heart attack. Lol

    Always finding good scrap Mike! That orange box contains what is called a hydraulic ram kit and 1 ton is the weakest version, 4 ton is much better. The spreader is called a duck bill. The seals are probably shot. I started working in body shops at 18 and ram kits were one of my favorite pro-toys. Slap $30-$40 on it and see if it sells!
