  • 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.

      That's funny! From what I saw, and I could be wrong though but if he would have used the two pieces of wood from the same dumpster as a ramp and wheeled it up into the truck it would have been sooo much easier.
      lol Mike seems to find the hard way of doing things picking up heavy scrap two or sometimes three times before it gets into the truck.

    Being a huge Diet Coke consumer myself, I have noted the date on the product is the intended distribution date, at least on the bottles. At any rate, if the carbonation is still there, it is still good. You can tell by squeezing the can or bottle to judge pressure.

      Problem is, that if someone gets sick from drinking expired beverage you pulled out of a dumpster and sold on a yardsale, you could be in a whole lot of legal trouble... it is not word it.
      Besides it's diet coke, no sugar in it - sugar acts like a natural preservative, especially in that excessive amount they put in a coke, so I wouldn't mind drinking it myself, but I'm not so sure about diet coke..

    A use I found for old dishwashers is this. I gut them and use the plastic shell as a recycling box for wire. I can leave them outside and since they have holes all over rain water doesn't stand in it. They are easy to move with a dolly even with scrap. On a treadmill do a search for treadmill stripper. Some guy made the best homemade wire stripper with a motor and parts from one.

    Hey Mike, I grew up in Houston, 45s. and belt 8 way area, so I know something about the humidity, and the cause of your lens fogging up is a combination of the high humidity and your GoPro lens or box getting cold in the trucks AC, same thing as your cold beer can sweating when you remove it from the frig.

      Mike have you tried to contact the businesses directly that you get the biggest scores from consistently and offer to take the stuff free of charge? It would be more efficient than digging for it. Might also keep the stuff you get in better shape. Get a trailer with ramp gate lower to ground faster and easier to load. more scrappity scrap = More dollars. The videos are great hope you can continue to make them even if it is on another platform. Good luck stay safe.
