- 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!

Those floppy discs are pure gold to the retro-computer people on eBay.
Felt like he was missing out on lots of good stuff in that office container and stopped way too early there. That thing was packed full of all kinds of ish.
Floppys go for a ton online
@@mobb49 New Old Stock particularly.
5¼'' floppies are like gold dust. 8'' floppies are rarer than hen's teeth.
I cried a bit when Mike just dumped them out.
When Mike says something is heavy you best believe it’s heavy
Lol well I’d be second guessing
OMG, Save the floppies. Retro guys want them.
Fun video as always but I wish getting old was as poetic as riding into the sunset.
I was waiting for there to be a dozen more of those heavy blocks hidden in that first dumpster.
man those floppy drive discs would sell well on ebay! The data carts too!
Yes I was looking for someone else that new. Mike those floppy discs sell for sure. Ppl wanting them again, and that Sony drive disc for sure. Id be hanging on to all those
Those LTO are tapes for backups, there is some companies that will buy them. There are several companies still using them, but not many manufacturers making them anymore.
I love it when you hop in and pretty much empty out the dumpster !! And when Mike says it’s heavy, you’d better Believe it’s Heavy !!! 🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦
Mike throwing around engine blocks like the Hulk 🤣
Engine head.
@@chadmutchler5062 Cylinder head from a Detroit diesel 3-53 or a 6-53 I believe.
Mike is the James Brown of scrapping. Hardest working man in scrapping.
Those data cartridges, googled them, there was an Amazon listing for $190 for ten of em so about $19 a pop give or take.
You’ve been getting lucky with all the boxed stuff your finding on your outings 💪🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
We love you Mike!
Well done hardest worker in America
The James Brown of scrapping 😎
Worked retail in my early 20's. Can't say how many shelves, displays, or hangers we threw out. 😢 Great job salvaging those today.
Thank you for starting the week out right with one of your videos.
That shelving was a score, I love it when you nearly empty a dumpster, I always wonder
what the dumpster owner thinks when they next come to the dumpster 😂
Either something along the lines of “wait…. That…. That was full when…I …..left. The didn’t dump it because that gross crap is still in there. What the heck?!”
That or “Oh nice! Scrapper half emptied it for me. Time to refill!!”
The Dumpster Fairy came! Instead of a quarter under the pillow he leaves an empty dumpster.
Maybe, I see MTS is out and about again 😀
My grandkids have been getting 3-5 dollars from their perspective tooth fairies.
You definitely scored on that haul. Glad your broomstick was the only casualty of that heavy metal battle at the beginning..
I see Mike, I click like.
Oh man, that electronics dumpster.... pure money inside! Also those floopies. They arent produced anymore, so you get money for them.
For those ResMed CPAP machines, the reservoir they are missing is a consumable item (you replace them every few months). So the machine has value without them.
The big heavy part at the beginning is a Detroit Diesel 2 stroke cylinder head. Very heavy and worth putting on ebay if it's in good shape.
That cart thing is called a "Cow", Computer on wheels. It's from a hospital.
Unbelievable what gets thrown out, but hey we got Mike to get those
Heavy metal rock n roll baby!!!
Nice find Mike .Love the way you find all the cool stuff. Your videos are so cool to watch , love the graphics you use with your videos . So awesome, love to watch you hunt 💗💗💗💗💗💗
So today we found out that our scrap yard won't accept compressors unless u r a certified tech.
Bummer cause they r paying $1.55 a pound.
Had to go to the other yard and they only pay 10 cents a pound.
We had 130 pounds of them.
But what ya gonna do.
Won't be getting appliances anymore as a rule.
Living thru u MIKEY MIKE!! KEEP ON BUMPIN DOWN THE ROAD DUDE!!
BLESSINGS
That Heavy Equipment Business dumpster is a pure weight honey hole! Someone, somewhere would pay big money for those parts if they could be identified.. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Go back for those floppies if you can - the retro folks will give some coin for NIB floppies!
I came here to say the same thing. Pretty sure @The8BitGuy lives in the same city as MTS and would have bought those in a heartbeat.
@@bigron761 I think he lives near Dallas but either way you're right he would grab those up for sure.
I am looking forward to this dive, cos, you never disappoint 😊
I’m so glad that strap didn’t break!
Betty White is a Tuff one huh!!! You are the Hulk, Superman, Tarzan all into MTS, love it.
Karen New Orleans Louisiana ✌🏼🐾🐾♥️⚜️☀️
Good morning Mike! Thanks for the post!♻
Just love your salvage style. How efficient. Always amazed.
Glad YOU didn't get crushed!! Great job!
Thank you, keep working.
Mike! I'm laying on an ice pack for my back. PLEASE ! SAVE YOUR BACK!!!!!
Another awesome video with some great finds!
Heck yeah, good timing for me to come and check UA-cam 🖥👀👍
Thanks, Mike. You certainly got your workout today.
Me quedo sin palabras solo devir que retrocedi en el tiempo viendo sus videos y es increible que no ha mermado ni una pisca su entuciasmo su fuerza y su camioneta llena de distintos tipos de chatarra y jamas un fallo como ud ninguno felicitaciones .cuidese
That's a good selection of ISH you got there Mr Scavenger !!! Get that ISH 😮
Thanks Mike for another nice haul. 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Right on, Mike!!
Hi! Mike nice to see you again. Blessings to you and wife.
Why do i feel tired after watching Mikey go through a container like a hurricane !!?? 😂🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏
That cylinder head was off of a Cummings Diesel. I had to laugh when you dropped the counterweight into the truck and it landed on your broom handle. Without seeing it at first I knew your handle was history. I gave up its life for a good cause.
That cylinder head you grabbed first thing is worth some coin to the right person.that looks to be a new part too.
With respect if it was new it wouldn't have been thrown away 🤷
@@bethdavis1812not necessarily true. In all my years of scrapping, there's Bern plenty of times I've come across new stuff thrown out. For some companies it's cheaper to just throw stuff out than return or let sit on a shelf or in a warehouse.
It could be. But it could also be a return. Most often those are scrapped due to damage to the chrome layer in the rod. If the chrome layer for some reason start to flake of. I.e some contamination gets into the cylinder or a bad rechrome of the rod. It will cause unreparable harm to the cylinder walls. And the whole part is toast
Oh @@randywissler9923ok thanks 👍
@@afre3398this also true, thanks 👍
I laughed so good when you broke your broom stick 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just found you mike I'm from uk and think your the smartest guy I know good luck
awesome Mike found the launch codes for the spaceship on those data cards.....notice he hasnt spoke of the spaceship parts in awhile
Awesome Mikey

Thanks for your content Mike an a big hello from Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of England 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey Mike I love it when you put out a new video . I get so excited.love all your stuff …thanks
Mike, you are unbelievable when you are balancing those heavy weights.
Thanks for another great video Mike
My back hurt just watching you move that engine block. Dang!
Cylinder head, not a block.
Nice haul today Mike ! ! ✌
You should have gotten Maggie the magnet out for all that small hardware, big Mike!!
Yeah Mike you met your challenger and you beat the challenge 🎉
The first 2mins i kept saying ooh dont drop it and hurt B-Dubs.. lol 🤣
These are the best videos when u actually fill up on scrap although the sunglasses were a kool find
“Stagger” off into the sunset Mike !
Data cartridge are the most reliatable support for saves
Thank you Mike ❤
Great post Mike. Sending good vibes from across the pond.
You can kill a vampire with your broomstick!!
Great job mike
At 1:30; that was a 3-cylinder diesel head, and it looks fairly new. There should have been another head to make that a V-Six.
I was suspecting that was a diesel… so beefy.
Another amazing scrappy scrap trip!! Take it easy in this heat brother 👍👍👍😎😎 See ya!!!!
Wow that’s some serious weight in that first dumpster! Lots of good stuff this run.
Mike should open up a scrap store and his motto would be “ if Walmart doesn’t have it Mikes scrap shop will if not he can find it for you “
The day bliss you always and God is always by your side have a great day
Fr the people of the Philippines wants to congratulate you for all your hard work be safe sta ana
Hey Mike here is an idea when you get big heavy pieces of scrap why don't you mount an Electric Winch on your trunk bumper or the bed to pull that stuff out the dumpsters!
Thank you for sharing another awesome video six stars
Ol Betty got some weight on her butt 😂 great finds
I cursed for you when you dropped that thingymajiggar in the first dumpster….
Another fantastic video absolutely love you Mike the scavenger. ✌🏻
Mike, You are totally remarkable! !
Great result again
Thats another mighty haul there Mike. GOod job
Watching him dig through everything is enjoyable never know what you’ll find
We love you big papa
all that heavy scrap is making me jealous
Mike masz ciekawą osobowość. Pozdrawiam 😊😊😊😊😊😊
R.I.P. Broomstick by a very heavy metal plate! ☠🧹☠
Awesome video Mike
My brother was a contractor for the owner of a strip mall. He’d do the construction between tenants and had all sorts of cool stuff that people abandoned.
All those parts you found in the beginning are forklift parts. 😊
Mike, you killed it today!
Yay Mike ❤
you crushed it mike
That hurt my back just watching it. Those are Backup Tapes for Servers. They are no obsolete as they now backup to other backup servers.
Nice haul Mike,that o2 concentrator is one of the good ones,older style sik with brass don’t dive many of them. If I may I’d like to give a shout-out to the electrician working the west school project who 2 weeks in a row as wound the scrap wire up all neat and laid it next to the dumpster for me,this old timer really appreciates it,I’ll put in a good word for you upstairs when I go there soon 😊
If you come across a few of the bed transfers slings keep them and they can help you move furniture, and injured dogs, and heavy objects
