- 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!
I like watching you I'm dieing of bone cancer I just sit back watch your shows and it gives me good spirits ty and keep up the food work
Good
I'm so sorry Ray. 😟 but it's nice to know you can live vicariously through Mike's video adventures and find pleasure and happiness in his channel.
Do you have family near?
@@debbiematheny4734 no I don't have family buy me they dont even ankolage me
@@rayhickmott7326 Well warm regards and prayers to you from Mikes family (us) may your pain lessen and pass peacefully that's all any of us can hope for at the end.
We're all dying just the same, some sooner than others. God Bless you Ray Hickmott...
God bless you
When I was a child I never could have envisioned myself one day in the future having a desk job where I chill & watch a man dumpster diving in my spare time.
Mike isn't just any man, he's saving the planet one dumpster at a time, whilst throwing in some entertainment at the same time.....A lot better than the crap on television.
@@MyCracker1234 true story
Yes 🥰 Thank you
God bless you all now and always ❤️🌹❤️
Mike The Scavenger is amazing, saving the planet he's the best. God bless and protect him always ❤️ and all his friends and family blessings always ❤️
for reals
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I enjoy watching you doing your dumpster diving. This one actually made me cry. No one would throw what you found away. Someone threw away someone else's treasures. Heartbreaking.
I am wondering if someone passed away and had no one to leave their collection to .😢 Or someone was very pissed off at somebody …. this is insane .
Dude! You've gotta do a follow up video when you find out more about the NASCAR stuff. You may have scored BIG TIME!
Mike hit the JACKPOT today! Good for you!!
I feel so sorry for that little bear at 10:52 that he missed...not once, but several times! 😢
He missed two bears and a Nascar stocking
Yes I saw those bears they was the ones worth millions lol 😆 😂
I'm just now seeing this. That Nascar memorabilia is worth a lot. That was a haul in itself.
Breaks my heart to see all of my hero, Jeff Gordon’s stuff thrown in the trash, but I’m glad you saved it from being sent to a landfill
The absolute motherlode! Holy smokes Mike! I'm so happy you saved those treasures 😊 Congratulations 👍
A wife would call them “toys” everyone else.... they are a must have “collectible”😀
Hold on there, Bro, I'm a wife, and I DEFINITELY call them collectables!! 😂
toys to me
I love how Mike kept passing up the Jeff Gordon stocking
I'd have set all that RainBLOW Warrior stuff on fire. 😆😂🤣
Exactly I'm like grab it grab it 😆
Lol
@@vintageLEGOcollector cause so
Thats got to be one of the nicest dumpster loads I've ever seen. Congratulations to you. Let us know
Missed 2 steins wrapped up in the dumpster. What a find .love you, great channel
"He took my Stapler!" Awesome toy find!!
WOW NASCAR collection is great!!!
*"One man's trash, is another man's treasure................................."*
One mans treasure is another mans treasure when you’re ex dumps the collection
There is ALWAYS money in toys and dolls! I’m living proof, 30 years in business, even if you sell them for a $1.00 apiece, it’s money at the end of the day! Someone is pissed separation/divorce, that’s who threw it out!
Or some adult children who didn't want it.
Mike, Here is what you can use the old CPAP machines for. I took my old one and used it as a ventilation hood. I took a sand blasting hood and hat and vented the tube up inside. I can then use the CPAP machine to blow fresh air into the hood so I dont breathe bad air. None medical use. I also used 2 or more tubes connected together to keep the fresh air far away from where i was working. perfect for sand blasting or spray painting. anything with particulates in the air. Make your own and sell them.
Nice score, Mike. Boyd's bears are highly collectible. Your neighbor will probably be thrilled to see those.
You hit the JACKPOT MIKE 💯💯💯
Mike the Nascar collection is worth between 1500- 4000.
Those printers you have been skipping are worth money. Company on Long Island,NY and in MD purchases those items. The mother board and memory from those printers are good money. I will introduce you to my connections will make you money. The red bubble wrap is anti static $$
You will never get anywhere near that for that stuff. Nothing in the bunch is Rare just Common items.I had over 800 pieces of Dale Earnhardt Sr/Jr Pieces and it took forever to sell them and they were all Mint and 99% of them were sealed in the original packages.The value at Top Dollar I’d guess is less than $350 on a good day but I’m sure he likes your Crazy price much better.Not one item on the entire table is worth more than $50 if that.Thanks for the laugh but you have not been a seller and I did it for a long time before the market died and NASCAR lost its huge following.
Outrageous what people throw away! That is the mother load.
Holy crap, your sitting on a Gold mine, with all the collectibles, Someone spent a lot of money and time getting all that NASCAR stuff,
Take it to Vegas and get on an episode of Pawn Stars
Breaks my heart seeing all that NASCAR stuff getting thrown away but glad you found it
Hay Mike you should carry a small tarp so you could cover something up if it starts to rain
Yeah scrappers always have those in a truck!
It kind of looks like a divorce or separation and she threw away his NASCAR collection and other items. He will be pissed when he finds out!
I thought that or the angry parents that did not feel they took good enough care of it. Could also be non sale household sale items.
I thought that it was a divorce thing when that note on the balls said
“I left these for you to put on the tree”
I was thinking between the Christmas tree, kitchen stuff and Nascar toys maybe someone got evicted and the landlord threw there stuff out. I.D.K. COVID19 and people losing jobs who knows.
Haha!
Willing to bet a divorce...
Mike you found every collectors dream find!! Awesome find it must have belonged to a true collector and maybe after passing away or moved to a nursing home his kids dumped it out. Trash to treasure. You will find new homes for these things great job!
look up that bearstone collection some of it's outrageous priced online
Those beer steins worth a lot of money Mike good find put it on EBay sell some
Have you sold the ernie evern car
Last German beer stein is worth 80$. Enjoy!
Mike, what a great find. A lot of collectors items in there so take your time and get info on everything. Numbered items are limited edition.
Prepare you a “Scavenging Kit” with the items you need and get a tarp and bungee cords in case of rain.
I’m addicted to your show.
Me too!!!
Some guy pissed off his misses or got evicted
Or parents emptied kid's old bedroom.
Skullz6 Exactly what i thought lol
I know right $3000 plus trashed
Or he died. :'(
Dude you hit the nascar jackpot there should be easy selling that stuff since there are lots of nascar fans. what a score!!
When you have numbered collectibles, the lower the number the bigger the value. Getting number 1s is a crazy score!!!!
Yeah but, is that #1 of 5000 or is it just one of 5000? There is a big difference.
@@georgeshandling8400they are that corresponding number, I do alot of collecting and I always ask just to amuse myself..
Never, ever leave the house without your nice Mike😲
Dude you are my insperation. Been diving for like three weeks now.. Got like$1500 worth of still tagged and neatly bagged Old Navy clothes... three $150 Straightening Irons from Ulta... 300 plus pounds of aluminum... Awesome love you Brah keep diving
Where do you dive because we can’t in our area. Can you be arrested?
@@wendydavis101 I dont believe you can be arrested here in Fl. Where I live as long as you are not tresspssing
@@rodterpening6885 thank you!
LOVE this channel!!!!! MIKE IS THE MAN!!!
You should’ve checked to see if the vitamins were still sealed
Check that maple ty beanie babie out in ebay. In canada there are some for 2 grand. No shitting. Lmfao
Good score! You did pass up some stuff in that dumpster. Least you got the majority of the collection. I do yards and one of my customer's passed away. Wife gave me a large selection of his stuff. Cards, comics ,collection. Then later on. She asked me to help clean out a house that a friend inherited. That house had so many collectables in it. The caretaker had started helping herself to the house. Furs, guns, jewelry.
Nascar Dumpster that kept on Giving - You sure found the Mother Load - WOW and WOW again !!! You saved a very Expensive Collection - we see some Serious Money here !!!! Another Great Score on those Lights ! Cool Shirts and Mugs - nice Find ! Well Done indeed !!!! Stay Safe and many Cheers from all of us in Australia !!!!
Yes them NASCAR collectibles is worth money especially the Dale Earnhardt ones. And yes a good score .
If only you had found a 24” dustpan sometime, you could have scooped up that glass! 🥴
😂
Ain’t that the truth.
I see what you did there!!!😭😭😭
Lol
I don’t see no glass
Another fabulous trip around the dumpsters!😊
You hit the jack pot on the NASCAR collection. Dale Sr. That's good stuff.
That nascar stuff is a gold mine buddy
You'd have a field day with my collection of unopened hot wheels. Lol
We both have a good hobby love my hot wheels
@@kentuckymotorsports9815 it's better than drinking or doing drugs, plus hunting for the ones I need is fun
@@medievaltorturetechnician1980 yea I mainly like the old muscle cars
@@kentuckymotorsports9815 I have all of my original hot wheels from the 70s lots of redlines in near perfect condition
@@medievaltorturetechnician1980 Nice. I don't have any that old I've been collecting for a couple years have around 70ish still on the card
The stuff that people throw out unbelievable. They could have donated all of it.
Taco Stacks sells clothes on ebay. One episode he said that fire shirts are a very good seller. One of the best, if not the best seller. Secondly, first editions of anything is worth allot of money. You are sitting on allot of money there. Glad you found these items rather then it going to the landfill. Good for you!
Kinda miss watching taco stacks as I would have to really get caught up from like two years ago to now and an idea how his dog is doing as she was a joy to see on his channel
You missed a little bear and that Jeff Gordon Christmas sock
Right...I kept going, get that...
I caught that to. I kept saying you missed something Mike..
Nice catch Mike....I would put it on Ebay...good money, both the nascarstuff and the bears.
!
Damn this was a big find but what really got my attention was the dress shirts. Man if I found all those shirts I would be wearing them everyday.
Right port authority is a good brand….
Oh God Mike, this video made me 😭. How lucky can one get! love you!
Man brother, that NASCAR stuff and cards you should totally get that stuff appraised, you could have 1000's in $$$$$ sitting there in just collectible cards and memorabilia :)>. Seriously get those things appraised you won't be disappointed ;). Same with the beanie babies, they get some good bucks for some of those :). I just got to say, you are living right for GOD to bless you with that kind of a score!
Most of that Nascar stuff isn't worth much at all. It was highly collected and mass produced back in the late 90's and by 2008 the market kinda died. I see plenty of people trying to sell the same stuff at flea markets and yard sales and can't even get a couple bucks on the stuff , beanie babies are even worse. Yeah there's a couple like the princess Dianna one that are worth a little...but 99% of beanie babies aren't worth the materials they're made out of.
@@thisshouldbeentertaining3386 Well hey, I appreciate you telling me, lol I must be getting old they used to be worth a lot back in the day :)(.
@@snoozin99 yeah they were worth some $$$ back in the day ... I'm sure the guy who collected the Nascar stuff probably spent $3,000+ on it but like I said it has little value these days I've seen similar collection's at people's yard sales where they struggle to get $40 for several bins full of Nascar collectibles...and back around 99'-2000 beanie babies were sky high in price with most being worth $100+ and some $20,000 but that market crashed hard and fast. I read articles around 2004 that had people talking about how they had collection's of BB that were worth over $100,000 back in 2000 that plummeted to under $5,000 in 2004 and most likely worth under $1,000 now
@@thisshouldbeentertaining3386 The bear stuff is worth much more on contrary to this NASCAR stuff.
Also its better to list all things on EBay and wait for good bids on each stuff.
@@lutenic6111 been collecting various stuff for almost 40 year's and the beanie baby stuff isn't that collectable anymore...yeah there maybe be a few that sell for some decent change on Ebay , but like I said 99% of them are practically worthless...I see people at flea markets who can't even get $1 for them even in great condition with tags.
Those toys are grown men's collection. Someone got pissed off at their Ex!
Oh my goodness!!! I can not believe all of the collectible Boyd bears, beanie babies, and all of the NASCAR stuff you found in that dumpster. I know I am a few months late telling you this but for next time you find things like that call me. LOL :) I live in a town next to a NASCAR track so I am a little familiar with those type of collectibles. Some you found were drivers that have passed away or retired from racing so they should be worth more. As far as the beanies yes I will admit it I have totes full of them. Also the Boyd bears figurines are not in business any more and are worth money. Yes I have them also and I got to visit the showroom in Gettysburg, PA. They closed Jan. 31 2011.
lol I was writhing with anticaption looking at the pez dispenser screaming at the screen.. Mike its right in front of you... Sheesh thanks for grabbing it!
"Ritchie Rich" is really Montana Master "Monty" Max from Tiny Toons Adventures
Mike, you need to ask that cat to tear open those bags for you, they do a good job of that around here.
Mike, if you found more toys like that often, I'd come diving with you! That's fantastic!
*Mike, you should go live sometime and hold an auction to sell off all your wares. Just have people send via Paypal and maybe charge a little to ship, and you can make a lot more $ opposed to casual garage sale patrons*
Colorado, home of legendary herb.
Nice NASCAR score!!! Can float on a "high" like that for awhile. Personally, I'd check eBay sold listings and figure out what is good and what is not so good. Then you know what offers for some items/the lot are reasonable and what ones aren't.
Good gravy son. I hope and pray you donated the clothes. And sold all the Dale Earnhardt collection. You were blessed that night.
Wow, amazing finds! BTW it doesn't mean its the first one, it is 1 out of the 1012 or 5000, there should be a certificate inside with the actual number on it.
Oh yeah some women got pissed and threw her mans stuff out, I was screaming get those Jeff Gordens stockings lol. You got some good stuffs Mike😎🤟
It's sad that someone just tossed Dale like that in the dumpster
Greetings from Australia
Nice to see your hard work paying off
I really respect your positive attitude
Hey Mike, after reflection on your videos it seems to me that you come across many collections that are thrown out and while I hate the morbid idea of it there is the pandemic going on and these treasures finds may be the result of family members that they can't stand seeing it anymore. Sorry but this has been on my mind for months now and I don't know why I even bring it up except to say be very thankful for what God has clearly blessed you with. You are Blessed Sir.
The amount of high quality paper there. Even if one side was used, it’s still excellent paper. The value of that bond paper alone.
as a card collector i been always wonderin if you found any collectibles in your travels
Picked up a nice chunk of change with the NASCAR stuff and bears and steins Mike look some of that stuff up before you sell it bro
It is bananas that you found all the nascar stuff and new clothes!
Great score Mike, what luck you have. Definitely call your uncle before selling any of it. We would LOVE to see your uncle's collection. Trade him one item for a video of his collection and I personally would love to hear an interview with him.
"who throws this stuff out?" Why the NASCAR fairy, of course, where else would it come from? Lol
That was supposed to be the Ark. Room for 2 more. I agree with Skullz, someone is not happy right now.
Greetings Mike. Score score score yippee for you. GOD BLESS you always. Your not scared to lift stuff & get those treasures. You're amazing & inspirational. I love watching you, Vandal Vlogs and Canadian treasure hunter. Scrap it up. Shaneman &Bob. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family
Those breathing devices are called CPAP machines. The're for people who have sleep apnea. They pump filtered air into a breathing mask so you don't stop breathing when you're sleeping at night.
The thing that's cool about them is that you can use them to create a mask with positive air pressure. They work great with full face welding masks, painting hoods, etc.
i still remember when Mark Martin just after winning at Watkins Glen found out that he had lost his father step mother wife and daughter to a plane crash .
Me to. That was a tough week
You must not remember too good because it was his father step mother and step sister that died
Your FKN AWESOME for saving that collection ! Damn if I had the money I would buy some of that. I love this CHANNEL Mike.
Boyd's Bears are expensive and the older women love them!!!
You scored big time in the resale department on that one dumpster alone!!!
Hi mike great Stuff again I live in Germany but my wife is from Texas and like to here you Talking than she feel like home
Handgemacht means handmade in German so I guess there is some money there
HEY MIKE!!
TWO WORDS....
"MAJOR SCORE"
OR
"OH MYLANTA"
ANYWAY, KEEP ON KEEPING ON BROTHER SCAVENGER!!!!!
PEACE 🤘🏼!!!!!!
Late to the party but if you’d have found the NASCAR and Beanie Baby stuff in NC I’d have sworn it could be my late mothers. She collected both. Of course we still have it all stored away. I’ve been watching your channel since I found it a few weeks ago. You produce great content!!
Mike has a degree in dumpsterology.
Dude, that is an INCREDIBLE find!! As a rabid NASCAR fan, I am SO jealous!!!! BTW, that was Ricky Rudd, whose name you couldn't make out. 😉 You've got some real money there, especially that Action die cast!! You sell it all yet? If not, I'll make an offer!! Seriously!!
People throw other people's stuff away out of anger. I'd say a new mother with an abscessed new husband.😂😂😂 Lucky you!
You hit the jackpot! You have a high value NASCAR collections. You will be surprised what that stuff is worth!
Hey Mike, wow what a find. Hope you make some good money with all those race cars and cards. Love your videos Mike.
Wow, I wonder what the story is behind that collection and how it got in the dumpster! Everytime I watch you I get soooo gutted I can't dumpster dive where I am in the UK, but thank goodness when I'm not busy in the workshop I can watch amazing peeps like you get the goodies. Great video 👍
He said there was addresses on those magazines so maybe he could send a letter to that magazine address or Google the name
Looks like someone cheated... I smell a scorned woman behind this!!!😂😂😂
@@carlyjohnson5596 I’m thinking the same thing!
Is that a sleep center throwing out C-Pap machines?
They call it memorabilia you lucked out on that good score 👍some of that NASCAR stuff is worth a lot 😀
I had a Richard Petty car phone when I was younger. Don't know what happened to it but it was really cool!
Would be interesting to hear how much you end up getting for that haul Mike.
I'd like to buy a fireman t-shirt maybe 2. Possibly some of the multiples the colors of the dress shirts. Unless it's too difficult to sell to us.
You do realize those bottles are like food concentrated dryed and powdered food
Worth a lot. SHOULD have taken them.
One table spoon of dry powdered celery
Is like 2 or 3 stalks of celery or equivalent.If you had to extract that bottle amount from celery it would take 30 to 40 bundles of celery to get that amount of concentrated powder in a bottle give or take.And the powdered never goes bad for a very very long time.
Wish i could have been there to grab them.mmmm😭😭😭
That's what a am afraid will happen to my collection of nascar stuff when I die! LOL can't take it with you when you go!
No collectible cards toys and merch, when you found some of the most desirable NASCAR Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon or big Time rivals Dale Earnhardt has passed away from a NASCAR wreck and Jeff Gordon has now retired both very at the top of the merch memorabilia collectible NASCAR stuff, real big vary big huge find gold mine , kool thanks BigAl California.
That David Reutimann car is worth like $40+ just an FYI
Storage locker scavengers would think they had died and gone to heaven if they BOUGHT a locker with that NASCAR collection. Take your time and find the right outlet. Some things are valuable only in the right place.
I just cant believe the stuff you found. You deserve it all
