- 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!
15:09... Mike you need a big magnet 🧲 to pick up all that small hardware. 👍🏼
Yes I do
Or a little shovel to scoop it up.
@@MikeTheScavenger the red stick is a magnet pick up stick.

Just started watching your channel, very recently. I have to say, I love your hustle and game. It does my heart good to see a younger man with such drive and understanding how wasteful our country is. Keep on making these great videos and I’ll keep watching.
Alton Says It All.......

Well say. Yes Thank you ❤️🌹❤️ God bless you all always 🌹
As you watch Mike go through his scrapping Alton House, you’ll find that not only is he Everything you’ve said he is, but he’s also Very Clean not only cleaning up his mess but any that he finds. Also he’s very Kind, and I have to say that I appreciate the fact that he doesn’t swear, and has the funniest laugh, and he laughs at himself as well. I just love him and wait for each video he makes to come out. 😊🙏♥️🇨🇦
Mm;know onnjskq
This dude literally makes an honest living!
Glad to see your back...and your front! Yee ha! Back in the dumpsters AGAIN. So fun. Thanks for dragging us along Mike.
*it's amazing how much waste doesn't get recycled*
The joy of not having smellavision! I forget that those dumpsters often have garbage too. Good job Mike, keep it up!
I'll put in my vote of yes for the boat wheel getting mounted on Dottie somewhere
I have been watching Mike's "scrappy-Scrap" videos now for a few months. I really enjoy the viewing. Mike mentioned in passing,that some viewers were not liking his "hard breathing" while "scrapping" recording his "junkyard adventures".
To this breathing issue,I would say,anyone who has done any manual labor,knows elevated heart and respiratory rate is much increased. It cannot be helped. Does not bother me in the least.
I would like to add here though,to Mike,you REALLY need to buy or find a pair of steel toe and shank boots to wear on ALL your "dumpster diving" as it will only take one huge nail or some other long,sharp object in the dumpster clutter to land upon and pierce your shoes and foot,to really ruin your day/night and possible permanently injure you.
I have worked in heavy construction many years and I can tell you severe injury to the feet is not good.
Keep up the good work and very funny videos,and by the way "Watch Yo Head" Ha!Ha!Ha!
Hi Mike, before you scrap that copper plate it looks like a vintage Egyptian Brass Copper Wall Hanging depicting Pyramids and Sphinx. it's probably worth more than scrap.
Take care and thanks for all you do and share with us.
I hope you never stop doing what you do brutha, your videos are one of the few thing I have to look forward to.
Thank you for the video Mike. Stay safe and watch out for that dumpster juice.
Mike pretty good haul. Watching you with my late morning coffee. The red item with the black end and handle at one end is a pick-up tool for metal items. I use one for metal shavings and bits of steel at work. Hold on to it for stuff you can't reach or picking up LOTS of little bits of steel,nuts and bolts,screws and such (lots of a little=a lot).
Be safe out there, Aawwoooo, y'all!👍✌
Some times I just want to reach my hand threw this iPad and help you pick things up. Lol
Thanks again for taking us along appreciate you stay safe stay blessed
Mike I love watching you you are positive about scrap metal sometimes seeing what you find i would like to look with you. Big greetings from Poland 👍👍😀😀
My man Mike, another great video, I am laying around with food poisoning and you are keeping me company
Thanks man!
Take care
Oh Yeah, it's time! Always smile when I get to watch you work lol
The sounds you make , I laugh so much. You are one Cool Cat Mike!!!
Great stuff! Love ship wheel, put on the side of Dottie!😁❤
Susan Babb
SCHuush Dottie is incognito needs to blend in with the surrounding's otherwise Dumpster Patrols will be about apart from that fans might pounce for autographs and pictures the cover will be blown !!!
Ooooo #thevelvetloungelife wanted the Fire Extinguisher sign. Signs resell well. 👍🏽 Fun watching Mike do what we never could. Helping the environment one Texas dumpster at a time 🤠❗✌🏼
Man you were in high performance mode in this video get 'er done man! Thanks for the ride along bro!
Hi Mike, you need a giant magnet to pick up all the nuts and bolts.❤️🇨🇦
Mike is the camera man of dumpster diving, always worth a look
Hey mike I am a 61 year old woman I live in Mississippi and I love your hustle you are a real scraper I know because I am a scraper.
Now, that Egyptian plate would look FANTASTIC on your truck. 😊😊🌈🇨🇦
"Preparedness is next to scrappiness"
Man you got some good stuff,I think that Captains wheel would look so cool on your truck have a great day Captain Scavenger 🥰😎🤟
Hokey pokey and SS Dottie, lmao... I have a jewelry box like that from my grandma too. Fun stuff for your nieces. Please do another video on you taking apart stuff to get more from your scrapity scrap 😉😂💙
You should think about getting a magnet with a handle for picking up the loose steel and iron. You can load up the magnet and then just wipe all of the pieces off into a box.
Another brilliant, funny video from Mike the Man! Wires, wires and such! I love it when your new videos pop up - you made my day today!
Air pressure regulator with oil separator/filter at 39:30 will resell for about $25-35 easy.
HI Mike great video great scores and great treasures and a lot of wires today .
Modern day "Steptoe" . You are a Noble guy Mike. Scrap scrap scrap.
Oh my word When i was little back in the 70’s my mother would take us to the North Shore (Sunset Beach) surfers world in Honolulu Hawaii we used to sift the sand for puka shells, it was so much fun trying to dodge those huge waves running...we made so much beautiful jewelry out of the puka shells...love ya
At this time of year (especially after *this* past year) people will be spring cleaning. Might be a good time for curbside pickup on heavy trash day. ❤️ your channel!
Ya need to take that ship wheel and put "The Scavenger " in it and mount it to the side of the truck!
Dottie needs some decorations on her rails! Do it Mike! Love ur videos!
It would be so nice I f everyone was .like that lady. She is so nice.
Hey brother, when you going to do youtube full time? You would really do well if you were posting more. The one thing I hate about watching your videos is the fact that it's going to end soon and then I got to wait for another 3-4 days. :(
for tiny scrap like that, a good magnet to get it out of the bottom of the dumpster.
I was surprised you through the plastic chain back. Kind of thought that would be a resale item on social distancing stuff
That's what I was thinking
Chain great for crafting
Greetings Mike. This is AWESOME/PRICELESS. If they leave that metal for you, by all means take them. Yippee. You definitely did great as usual. Be safe,healthy &blessed always family
love to see a video on what you do with the cameras n stuff
It's always a adventure watching what you find. Keep it up 👍
Mike, just keep it coming and we will be here.
Good finds! Thanks so much for sharing 💜
Hey Mike, Love seeing all that you get. Do you get much for those screens you are always getting? Do they take them whole or do you disassemble them? Thanks for all of your video and also helping in keeping our landfills a little clearer of recycled items.
Red handled device at 29:15 is a magnetic pickup. You need one of those. The handle will release the metallic objects for you.
Somebody was makin an air ride mini bike there! 😀 you've got 60% of the whole project parts right there- front wheel rear wheel frame , the only thing missing is forks and motor!
Why you dont bring a nice big magnet with you? In this way you can grab all small bolts and metalic things from the bottom
Good morning Mike. Nice haul this morning. That red chain was already on my nerves before you said anything about it, I laughed when you said it. Love the videos Mike. Stay safe, no scrap left behind. With all of your scrap money do you save up for a family vacation or other things?
Best thing in the jewelry box was that grey beaded flapper necklace c1930s
Wow we like it when you find all that stuff.
Another re run keep my mind off the pain and the cold
Great Job
Saving That From The Landfill......✌️✌️✌️
Hey Mike the red handled thing that you found in the dumpster at the storage unit place is a magnet that has a release lever.
Kinda like trying to dig dry sand, just keeps falling back in. LOL
19:15 YES!!!!! Put that on Dottie...she would love it!!
Mike get yourself a magnet for times that you hit piles of nuts and bolts. Just don't let it attach solid to the dumpster floor.
You can cut the plastic pipes where they are bend with the boltcutter, so you just can take the good stuff.
You need a magnet to draw up all those little goodies!
Mike you should always bring a strong magnet for the smaller metal washers or metal bits
Cleanliness is next to Godliness LOL Mike you make me smile E V E R Y Video be safe God Bless !!
How do you scrap the little screens & cameras, do you disassemble them and part them out?
One man's trash is another man's treasure so happy you found plenty of treasure 👍👏
Shoulda grabbed your big magnet to pick up all those lose nuts and bolts and washers.
Use a strong magnet to pick up little bits like nuts and bolts from the floor instead of picking them up individually.
That motorcycle rear wheel and that tank was the score of the day. . Oh that volt meter not cheap either . Great scores
That boat wheel picture frame may be the coolest thing I've seen in these first few videos I've watched. I'll probably watch everyone of the videos though.
At 17:30, you should have used your fishing magnet to pick up all the scrap metal.
The red thing with a handle on one end and the black ball of the other might be a magnet? 29:12
You need a magnet for the nuts and bolts and snippets.
Those lights that you found could be repaired and you could use them as some very bright work lights or you can resell them to someone for cheap.
Hey at around 25:30 the scrap with the doors on it looks like Bill Validator housings either for an ATM or slot machine.
That last dumpster. The red item with the handle at one end, and a big round end at the other. Is a magnet. You could use that to pick up all that small metal in the dumpster from earlier in the video. Handy tool for cleaning up.
All kinds of great stuff mike..thanks mike😊😊😊😊
Your nieces will love it 🥰 😍
Im from Trinidad and Tobago in the westindies in the Caribbean and this is very interesting ,,
The red thing is a magnet. Pull the handle and it releases what you pick up with it.
Get a big magnet for the small stuff. It saves time
All that bubble wrap ! Gosh I’d take all of that , I use loads .
I have no idea where you’re from but your accent sounds like us. Love your excitement and attitude!
Do like into the unknown and tape magnets to your glove knuckles. Great for picking up small hardware.
29:15 looks like a magnet for picking up small items, then pull on handle to release. Magnet covered so it doesn't get metal filings all over it
mikeys gettin diggy wit it . LOL LOL LOL
LoL it's a magnet the shaft whit a handle would be Good to pick-up all the small scrap ;)
Sometimes the lights all shine on me other times I can barely see lately it occurs to me what a long strange trip it’s been.
Magandang gabi mike.I like your video mike bcoz your video is so awesome
Thanks for lettin us tag along while you get that scrappity scrap
What all do you find in your dumpsters when you dig in them
Wish I knew someone like you near me. I used to dive for electronic parts for my hobby. Haven't been diving for decades, always had to worry about getting arrested. Once you know how much people throw out you don't forget.
Yes!!!...the SS DOTTIE...lol
don't know what you do with the long plexiglass? glass? covers over the fluorescent light fixtures but seems they'd be useful for outdoor grow boxes and greenhouse projects
Good job.
Yes you need to put your picture in the ship steering wheel and mount it on Dottie!! That would be awesome!
Hi Mike, with the boat wheel you will be like captain Ron with a pickup truck :-)
You need a large and strong magnet for instances like the dumpster that had the little toolboxes in it, with all the small bits of metal objects. Would make your life easier!!
Lots of good stuff
I'm totally bummed out that you didn't take us to the scrapyard. After working my ass off getting scrap, I want to see the fruits of my labor. I guess with 280,000 subscriber's and all the side monies ( computer guy, merch, etc. ) , taking me from trash to cash no longer matter's. I'll always watch Mike the Scavenger though
Enjoyed your video 😅. God bless you and be safe 🙏
