- 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.

*Actually IN a dumpster* in the first 15 seconds. Mike's a Total Legend
Like a boss! ❤
Yes
A Legend, calling a Legend, a Legend!! Sweet!!
Paul your a legend 🙌 i watch your channel also. God bless you 🙏.
Hi Paul How are you xoxo
My listening partner died yesterday my wife's mom so it's a very sad day for us but she liked to listen to your videos with me
Boo Jojo sorry for the loss 😢
So sorry
Sorry for your loss
Thoughts for your family
God bless y’all bro sorry for the loss
01:50 Oh My Goodness Mike 😁 What a SWEET complement to your wife.
👍😎👍😎👍😎👍
Girl friend???
I think you need to install a Boom Crane in the back of your pickup to make life a bit easier 😀
GOTTA BE STRONG
I’ve been saying that for a while. Must be an old engine crane for sale locally to him he could rig up on dotty easy enough
That would be dope!! He could get all the scraps with that
Yep a small boom crane would come in handy.
I wish I was there to help yank out that pallet jack. Way to be a stud.
Omg you got that pallet jack out!!!! 😳👍🏻
The Cow Toenail clipper is actually a Burdizzo Emasculator for sterilizing bulls.
Oh man
@@MikeTheScavenger Steer clear of those.
@@MikeTheScavenger haha
Castration nippers! I thought they looked familiar! Bwahahaha
That's what I thought it was for, I just didn't know the name!
I haven't said this many times: but I was impressed you got the pallet jack out.
Way it was stuck in there.. I woulda said.. HELL NO.
Then again im a lazy sob sooo :P
I found a construction sight had 3 pallet jacks in the roll-off. I grabbed all three. I took parts off one and fixed the other two. Sold one to a friend of mine now I wished I had not messed with them. I ended up concreteing the whole shop and some sidewalks so I could roll pallets around. They don't work to good on dirt.

The underwear is from the guy who shit himself tryin' to put them gears in the dumpster🤣🤣🤣
@Jason Smith Thought the same thing here HAHAAHH
I felt the pain as soon as you picked up those castration clippers 😂
Mike, dude I give you a big ol' atta boy award for retrieving that pallet Jack. 😉👊👍✌
It amazes me at how many pallet jacks end up being tossed out; most of the time they can be repaired. A company I worked for saved thousands of dollars by having a company come in once a year and do maintenance on ours.
Dude. I could never sell or scrap that second (pinion?) gear!!! that thing LITERALLY screams "make a coffee table out of me" that would be epic !
Man Cave / Gear Head item !
Ultimate SteamPunk gear!
So the oil field thing you didn’t know what it was is called a drift or rabbit. It’s used In wells that are completed and producing to help prevent scale build up, pressure in the well drops below a certain psi and the rabbit falls, pressure builds pushing the rabbit back up. The trick is catching it in the tree!
That ring gear and pinion gear are from a large truck rear end differential.
if its not damage will sell around $450.00 .
@@terrymorrison7263 nahhhhh, scrappers are fine with their $5 profit 😂
I give my card out to scrappers and offer 20-50% more than scrap when they find certain items I make a killing on.
I had a little random luck dumpstering yesterday, someone tossed out a retro colored microwave that seemed to have never been used, stuffed with dishes (I didn't go for it, I don't need another Microwave). However, I scored a Coleman Red Canyon 10x17' tent, totally unused, an 8 pack of Disney trading pins (also unopened) and a 4 pack of Pokemon Pez (ditto), almost $200 score, the tent ranking in around $155 on Amazon, $25 for the pins, $12 for the Pez.
Nice!
You could start your own UA-cam channel!👍😊
Sweet score!
Damn. A pallet jack. I worked at one store where we used to race them fast like scooters in the parking lot after closing.
That's some of the most fun during slow times in a warehouse, when I was younger we would set up an obstacle course and see who would be fastest and bet who would crash 😄 fun stuff before CCTV monitors.
Every time Mike comes out of the dumpster and says Watch Your Head I imagine him doing the "Nabeiva". Its a skill on the uneven bars named after Russia's gymnast Tatiana Nabeiva. 🤸🏼♂️
He fought for that pallet jack
That shadow box is so cool. It would go great with my John Wayne stuff.
I love how you're willing to get in and dig.
I'm binge watching you're channel.i love it staysafe
We’ve all been there. Lol
"watching you're channel"
your
I just had back surgery last Thursday. Watching you get the pallet jack makes me think I might need to stop lifting heavy crap like that.😊
I have a hoist on my rack trucks to pick up heavy pallet boxes or something that need an extra helping hand.
Awesome heavy score, and like one vewier said WATCH YO FINGERS ON PALLET JACKS when they bite it's not nice
Well , that's just sad she won't let you keep the shadow box. I would hang it in the garage.
Mike when you older you will remember all the fun you had as a dumpster diver. Your fun to watch.
Just a suggestion MIke, did you ever think of getting your gloves sponsored. I would say a company that claims their gloves are hard wearing would jump at the chance. Love the channel.
Shay
And the puncture proof shoes.
He goes through gloves like crazy!! And loves his cool socks!
That’s a great idea!!
Maybe even some safety shoes
wow !mike a year later and my muscles hurt from watching you take that pallet jack out. love your videos.
Watch your back! The Brady item is probably a label maker.
When I was young we did that! In my 60’s now. Love watching
When you were standing next to that huge gear, it was like,”Honey, I shrunk the kids.”🤣
All those batteries. All those electronics. What a score. You find the best places.
It hurts my feet every time you jump down out of a dumpster. It was touch and go on getting that pallet jack in Dottie. Stay strong
And knees.
I truly enjoy your search for the things you find, I'm 72 and wish I Was able to do what you do, thank you I look forward to watching you , if makes my day
Gotta be strong 💪
Really had to work for that pallet jack. You were determined!!!
That was a good find Mike heavy items in the dumpster.
Wow, the awesomeness just kept coming!! think those angels musta left a little of their luck in the skies over u. Sure there was plenty of boos as well tho that we don't see. Awesome video, thanx
Stay safe
break it down into Dime bags !!!
Oh, goodness, trying to get that yellow pallet Jack out, I was straining right along with you! Poor baby, I must say you were determined! ✌🏼❤️
Watching you go for that pallet jack was beating me down... bless your heart, glad it worked out in the end...
Free Grass to smoke lol
2:00 thats very kind that they left it outside so it is easier to pick it up ...
Oh my goodness It feels like I'm right there with you and I want to help lift that Jack out. Great job getting it out!
Greetings Mike. Great day for treasures. Let's get going to find some treasures. Watch Vandal Vlogs, Scrapping with grandpa or Into the Unknown. Metal metal metal. C'mon Mike you can do this, you got to b strong. GOD BLESS you always. PLEASE be CAREFUL. Be safe,healthykind & blessed
I can't stop watching you, the stuff you say is legendary
Good to see you pulling closer to the dumpster so you don’t have to handle the treasures over and over! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Omgoodness everything was extra heavy this day! Thank you for saving our planet Mike!
A good little haul, you rock!

My god mike you certainly have a hard time with this scrap,you just said it “holy crap” holy cow” I worry you will get a hernia with the weight you have to shift take care mate take care👍🇬🇧🙏💕
You've got a good scrap too heavy but still you've got it, stay safe Mike👍👍👍🇵🇭
Son that was sweet to say about the wife, good for your sir.
I'll tell ya Brother you are A strong determined little Dude!
You need to carry more tools axe cutters
Receipt Shaw??
One night when I was young, we were tightlining for catfish. The skeeters were about to carry us away! Mom said, "I just heard 2 mosquitoes over there on the fence post talking. The little one asked the other one, 'So do we eat them here or carry them over there first? ' to which the big one said, 'No, we better eat them here. If we take them over there, the big skeeters might take them from us and eat them!!' " 😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊😊😊
Unbelievable! That pallet jack... DUDE!
Mike is super strong man to pick up the scrap metal awesome video mike
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You make me laugh. You must keep your wife smiling. You're so hardworking. I really admire your work ethic. Im being treated for cancer for the second time and have quite a bit of time on my hands and I'm addicted to your videos. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
A lil something something to get!
Mike, I think your scrapping beats the gym every day!
More Power Mike!!!
Good Luck 👍👍👍
Newby binge watching your channel! You are so motivated and inspired. 😅
lol you bringing back memories with that pallet jack . I use to have to unload them by hand into a trailer from time to time. I drove a LTL rig for 30 years. That is some serious work.
Great work Mike... I had the 3D experience while working that power jack hahaha. I was twitching and flinching like I was helping you out.... "be careful there, grab it there" I even took a break when you did HAHAHAHA. AWESOME WORK BROTHER!!! BE SAFE! GOD BLESS!!!
LOL. I catch myself doing the same thing
Awesome on the pallet jack. Real life struggles turned into cash.
Your SO lucky to have access to the dumpsters you hit. Where I live the businesses that have good scrap keep them locked inside gates around there properties. Very frustrating!
I can’t believe you got that pallet jack! Wow!
Mike is the man, taking on a pallet jack. That puppy ain't light. He came, he saw, the man kicked ass.
A good night! Lots of heavy things.
Those gears are called Ring and Pinion gear for a rear end(Differancel).
No one and I mean no one can ever say you don't work hard for your money!!!! I'm so torn with you. I love watching your videos but I'm always worried you are gonna hurt yourself. Please be safe and thank you for doing this. You are saving our landfills, making money getting dirty and still keeping your channel clean❤
So cute... Saying your wife is so sweet!
I can see the owner of that pallet jack coming out after he gets it out saying "oh that`s where that pallet jack went" and just takes it back with Mike just jaw dropped and ready to flip. hehe.
That's what i was thinking... that someone dropped it in off the dock by accident and couldn't retrieve it.
Mike that thing your calling for cows hoofs is stainless steel and called a Burdizzo emasculator, it's for docking tails and castration by crushing the tissue prior to cutting to help prevent bleeding. They are about 350.00 new. Used they still sell around 100 to 150 because they are used allot on ranches. For sheep and cattle
Careful with those pallet jacks have seen fingers taken off with people picking them up and moving them around.
Never knew that. I'll be careful. I scrap here in Florida.
Yeah they are extremely dangerous if not used properly, I could totally see it taking a finger off when the weight pivots and slams the handle down
Why don't you break the blades off the ceiling fans and make more room. They aint metal?
Morning Mike
You can buy a rebuilding kit usually at Granger, if it dosen't go up or down check fluid, highest set screw on cylinder, should full up to there . If is theres two ball valve springs, one is stuck open. Kit is easy to put in and has instructions.
PALLET JACK DID BOUNCE WELL
Yessss !
You need to be built like Eddie Hall to pull some of this scrap out :D
Then he would have a hard time getting into the dumpsters.
Major props for that jack
That item you called a large toenail clipper was really a item used for cutting the cords in the ball sack of a bull to make him a steer. To see how it works but a piece of string between two pieces of paper and then clamp down on it you will Cut the string but not mark the paper. stay safe good luck 🇨🇦
I have a video on how I repaired my pallet jack. Petty simple little machines.
Great haul tonight
I do like that too and then by the time I get to the thing I'm going to get I'm too tired to get the thing I'm digging for
Mike that's the best video I've ever seen you do and I've been watching you for like 2 years man
Good job young man-as always! Yes! That jack was a whopper to get out of the dumpster! Just don’t get a hernia from lifting like that!
Awesome! Always a pleasure to see your videos
😂😂 good job getting that heavy 👏 pallet jack 💪 out!
Great work ethic. That palet jack is no joke.
Wouldn’t it be funny if you were watching this and seen your baby pictures in the dumpster 🤣
Those blower motors make good squirrel cage fans. I found one years ago and built a stand for it. I use it everyday out in my garage
Good job on not letting that pallet jack kick your ass Mike
The breakers are broken because the contacts are silver. And those cow nail clippers are for crushing prarie oysters on bulls.. love from the great white north..
Watching some classic MTS today! Keep on keepin' on!
The orange tools are for swabbing fluid out of oil and gas wells.They are worth money.Every service rig and Swabbing companies use those.
