- 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.

Hey Mike, You have to be one of the happiest guy on the planet. I never seen you get upset. You left those toys for someone else. You don't cut cords in case someone else can use it. On top of that, when you cut your leg, you didn't get upset. I would have been bitchen if that was me. Your a good man. Even taking those little old lady dogs into your home to give them the rest of their lives the best they can have. God Bless You Mike.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ya your right about Mike he take life as easy as it come love the content and his craziness he make me laugh and you can blame that.
Staying Lifted 4LifeM8's. This is random and real.

I looked into a dumpster like these with the plastic lid at work one time. Chin just over the rail. The wind blew the lid down and my chin got smashed between the rail and the lid. Almost broke my teeth and jaw. Be careful in wind. my jaw and head hurt for days. I was lucky guys. Also you gotta give it up to truck tailgates. I have proven and so has Mike. They are really strong and can hold some serious pounds. P.S. Dottie still doing work after all these years. Shout out to all my Ford Fans.
Ouchy! Glad you didn’t reek your jaw or teeth!
Been watching your channel for about a week now....when you mentioned taking in those two rescue dogs, my respect for you went through the roof. That is the ultimate kindness, to take in another at a low point in their life.
Does anyone else walk about the street saying “oh lookie here! Scarppity scrap scrap” 😂
Thanks for another great Vid Mike. Snuggles to the “girls” we have British bulldog rescues here in the UK they are amazing dogs. ❤️
Love the Tom Cullen reference from the Stand........ "Laws Yes".
Me and my big brother used to watch your videos and talk about them and laugh our butts off..love your videos..🙏❤R.I. P Steve Inmon 4/15/61--4/28/21
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss
Y’all are so sweet to take on the care of the two bullies. I admire that kind of dedication to rescue work, not everyone would do that. Good on y’all ! ✌🏼❤️
Bless you for taking care of those poor babies. I’m thankful that there are people like you in the world. 🥰🥰🥰
My first tow rope was actually a chain from an old broken chain hoist, it was a *BEAST* and never let me down, lost it in a move and still regret it.
Make a tug-o-war with the hoists. Let's see which one wins! 👍
Morning Mike T.S... glad to see you're out doing your part at SAVING THE RECYCLABLES again!!!
Keep up the good work and BLESS YOU & YOUR WIFE for rescuing "the
Ladies"..... 🙏❤🐕❣🐕❤🙏
Post when you can, we love you Mike. I hope your girls have some time with you and your wife. Be safe ☺
Another fun time with the Scavenger getting all the good stuff. I would like to see the bullies please and thank you. Mike you and wife are the best, yes.
I don't know what I ever did without you! I've been binge watching your videos. Seriously though, you make people happy and I commend you for that.
19:13 brazing rods, maybe silicon bronze, it would look coppery. Funny on the chain hoist, the chain bucket is a real bucket.
Wow. Love the jukebox!!! Who even has one of them anymore will be fun taking it apart.
Glad you are taking care of the fur babies…. But dang! We miss you during the week man! It would be fun to watch you “clean up” that huge piece of scrap… you are going to do it, might as well video the process♥️.. Keep up the great entertainment, you make me and my husband laugh… Laughter is needed so much these days! Thanks for being one, that brings joy into our homes on a weekly basis! You Rock Man!!!
God Bless you and your wife for your compassion for Selma and Patricia.
🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏

Nice video, Mike. Those metal letters are worth a lot of money here in the UK! So glad that you are checking them out.
Greetings Mike. This looks like another great adventure. Let's get going to fill Dottie up/over, yippee. PLEASE PLEASE be CAREFUL. Give pooches🐶🐕 a hug. Stay humble and kind always. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family
Bless you and your wife for taking rescue dogs. They are special dogs and special people who take them. Every dog we have had are rescues. We love them to the moon and beyond! Great video! Thank you!
Wow. That was an aluminum haul for sure. The hoist made the night for sure. Prayers for your senior girls. Stay safe and God Bless
Mike the Scavenger I'm going to say thank you so much brother for these entertaining treasure hunting and scrapping videos. My greatest hope for your family is that one day soon, it all will generate enough income that you and your wife can start searching for a property that allows for even more opportunity growing what ever type business ventures that you all may want to do. Ohh, and not to forget I think that it's a good thing that you two are fostering pet's. True animal lovers are some of societies greatest people....,....😍 AMAZING!!
you could put" MTS "on the side of your truck with them letters
Those cheap flimsy shelves take up less space if you push on the side and make it collapse on itself. Makes it longer but flatter.
Love all your videos! Keep up the good work!
Have as blessed weekend!
This is the best dumpster diving show so worth the wait keep banging the dumpster,
Thank you for taking care of the ladies! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
You need a pliers like wire cutter for cutting off cords, and a small tongs with silicone tips to pick up snippets out of dumpster juice (just a thought)
Glad to hear your fur babies are doing ok. Good to see you today 😊
Those 3 chain hoists, I am sure you could make one good one and install in your garage, then all set for working on Dottie or anything else that comes your way.
Mike- I love power cords and food
Mike’s Wife-???
I've replaced the capacitor on that exact Dayton hoist. 5 min repair for about 20 bucks I think. 1500.00$$$ hoist new. Look into it if not to late
Young Mike that is known as a “ Fish tape
“ they send it through conduit small spaces in your right to set up a pole line for wires.
Hey Mike, willing to bet all those hoist aren't bad. Maybe a couple and they decided to replace all at once. Might be able to sell one or two. Good luck.
Hey Mr Scavenger. Always appreciate your efforts with your endeavors and your pups👍
Thanks y'all (sorry had to try and talk like Mike 🤭)
well done to you and family for rescue of the fur babies nothing like see there happy faces knowing there safe now .been watching from latvia for long time .
Thank you for fostering the fur babies.
Oh happy day....🎶
You Mike, make me roll up laughing 😂
Wishing you so much success in your life ❤️
Much love from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 😝
Hey Mike
Looks like there's some LEDs in the signage. As I'm sure you know there's a lot of diy folks out there who would love to get hold of those guys. Just a thought.
Thanks again.
The Lady's must be on number one, scrapping on number 2. Because life goes before dead stuff; all the scrap. You did it on the right way Mike so no excuses needed for that.
Loved the "The Stand" reference. MOON that spells hilarious. Keep up the good work Mike!
Thank you Mike for your videos. I'm just a Dallas housewife trying to keep my sanity while nursing my family, and myself, through covid. Stay safe, stay well 💙
You're such a happy and positive person, we definitely need more people like you in this world 💯 Thanks for the awesome videos!! ✌& 🤟
Love the new buckets! An organized scraper is an efficient scrapper!
Mike you are the 'Forrest Gump' of scavenging.
Straight to the comments to see if anyone got, "The Stand" reference-- and we did have some Stephen King fans! 😃
I read that whole book upside down just to do it when I drove truck from boredom
I thought of one when I saw the dumpster full of balloons... "They all float down here"
Yes!! I meet Steve king at the governor's Galla in Brunswick Maine in the 90s he's a tall big guy.and his friend governor King had won. Very impressed!!
Mike glad your back and yes the ladies come 1st.have a great weekend
Glad you are taking care of the puppies. We miss you but understand you need to take care of them we will be waiting take care Mikey we love you
Wow mike, the scrap gods are looking down on you tonight!!! Congratulations!!!!!🎊🎉🎈
Mike I love your funny upbeat personality, you are a true gem.
The best scrapping videos for sure
Mike, you amaze me yet again, are getting stuff for heavy lifting to save the back hehe. You could sell those chains separately. It is Father’s Day here in Australia and watching you has inspired me to get out in the shed. We are still in lockdown and can’t do a scrap run so I may as well be doing some sorting and micro scrapping, it all adds up to some pocket money.
That is always Mr Mike dumpster hero 🦾 great scrap and enjoy it. 😁👍🤑
good on you mike hope you have a great weekend!nice finds mate!
Awesome you rescue abandoned animals and give them a new home.
Cool stuff Mike...
That could've been the title for this video, "A hoist matey".
Lol….your right about that…
I swear, you have got a "local hit" with that theme tune there at the end Mike. I think l can even here a scrapping podcast in there...lol.
Retired from towing, I did the paperwork to liquidate unclaimed vehicles, boats, trailers, just whatever was impounded and over stayed it's visit (min. 30 days). Best part of auction day was interacting with the scrappers, always had a cheerful attitude & outlook even when the price of metal was down.
I commend you Mike for your effort to save the world one dumpster at a time 👁✌️👁
Sweet sweet load there mike giod to see ya'll back at it
Here in a few weeks, months years, whenever it happens. The crap is going to hit the fan.
Because War is inevitable.
I want hang with you. I know I will survive.
You are the man Mike.
Your videos have me looking for scrap and calling my scrap buddies when I see it. I love that you are saving all this metal from the landfill.. SCRAP ON!.
Glad you're back needed my fix of scrappy scrap
Mike you always pick my spirits up I appreciate that
Wowwww new working

Always love the content, Mike! You rock! 2 quick questions: 1) How's the leg? Healing well, I hope. 2) Got anything coming up on the garage sale front? Have you had some throughout the summer? How's you make out?
You might be able to flatten the shelving unit if you put it on its side and then push it down to the ground while pushing forward.
Just to save room
Love going scrapping with you Mike, but you have to avoid the beans! 😂😂😂
HEY WILD THING,,GOOD JOB ON YOUR NEW ADDITIONS🐶🐶🐈🐈...HAVE A GOOD LABOR DAY🖐🖐🖐
Watching them all ❤❤
Loved how you said water....missed you so funny.
Mike, you hit the jackpot with the cords & chargers!
Those grate shelves are great for grilling on a fire pit.
Hi Mr scavenger like your ninja turtle shirt!
Great job with the Ladies Mike! Always love watching your videos
Yes the letters are worth way more then scrap, kool love it that a nice day for you , good job , thanks BigAl California,praise Jesus grace Christ amen amen 🙏.
M-o-o-n,that's my name.😂 I loved that movie.👍
Time to carry a cordless grinder with you. Would have been perfect for that shelving unit.
I wouldn't think you would want to make that much noise at night when you're going through someone's trash. Might bring the wrong kind of attention.
or a large pair of metal snips..
Hi Mike just wanted to say hello and how much I like your channel.
It’s make my day too watch you .
So keep making your UA-cam.
Alan a fan from England

Это для меня, как релакс на душу !!!
Хорошо завесят моторы и цепи. Как всегда метала море, да и телевизор в зачет.
@21:00 The chains on those hoists are grade 10/100 and are very good chains
All those letters, spell.... chaching! 😂 Good haul!
Dude.. That jukebox looked heavy as all heck bro. Glad to see you got the weekend cut out for ya. Enjoy and happy labor day!!
M-O-O-N doesn't spell scrape, it spells Tom. Come on Mike.
Hello from Pennsylvania here
Happy labor day to you and yours. Great video two thumbs

The garbage Gods smiled on you tonight. They knew you must have dinaro to pay for your two senior ladies. Blessed for your good deeds.💗
