- 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.

No better way to ride out the Hurricane in Central Florida than watching MTS!! Thanks mike!
Be safe!
Be safe 🙏 ❤️
Take care and be safe.
Also ridin out the Ian storm here in north Florida..... I want the two Bose mini speakers, please send to me. I will pay
Good luck. 👍
The stein with handle is a cezve, used for making Turkish coffee. They're traditionally made from copper or brass. That Spanish airplane and wood carved elephant have value depending on who made them.
Someone gave my daughter a weird aluminum elephant a while back. I thought it was crap, but looked it up on the internet. It turned out to be a limited production piece from a Canadian artist. You never can tell until you look it up.
Thought it was for coffee but didn't know the right name
Hi Mike I am a 73yr old not feeling very well at the moment I have the flu, but watching you cheers me up no end I look forward to your videos. Thank you.
Hope you’re feeling better 😊
Mike, that looked like you just had fun and made a little cash. That rocks, Benny
Hi Mike. I'm Alison from South Africa. I love your channel and its the place I go to, to cheer me up. I love your sense of humour, it's wacky like mine and I love the way you express yourself. Don't let anyone change that in you. It's what makes you unique. I make up names for things and it amuses my children and friends. Stay wacky its wonderful
Looks like a follow up video to see what is in the boxes. Another GREAT video with Mighty Mike co starring Dotty. Stay safe and God Bless
I love it when you find the interesting stuff that people throw out. Some of it has some real value - to somebody! 😊 As you know so well; "One man's trash is another man's treasure." I admire your energy and sense of humor, Mike. Keep on scavenging!
Thanks again for another great Mike the Scavenger video. Great for keeping the anxiety away waiting for Ian to come and go. Love ya Mike!!
No Power watching the Ahsome Mike the Scavenger Power Dumster Diving As the Eye of Hurriupcaine Ian Approaching Priceless!!!; )
Watching from Sarasota as well.... Stay safe, thank you Mike for the distraction!!! Stay Scrappy
Canada loves you Mike and what you do hopefully you can inspire people to recycle or scrap instead of filling our landfills. Keep the videos coming cant wait for the next one take care be safe and dont fall out of any more dumpsters.
Mike Mike Mike!!! Woo hoo !!! Yeah buddy !!! Some really cool scraps found !!! Thank you so much for taking us along!!! I appreciate you !!!
Thanks for the break! It's good to get away from the hand-wringing hurricane watch. 😬
Okay I’m dying to see what’s all in that black bag lol thanks so much for sharing 💜
Love to see a video of going through and sorting those boxes. I pretty sure that if you rub that gold stein Barbara Eden will appear 💨
The boxes with the goodies will bring up diverse materials like brass and copper ang aluminium. Yummie!!
I got those drums and made Metal racks out of scrap metal and laid their drums sideways for easy access off the ground. They lasted me over 40 years with that rubber coating on them. Used to be able to get it out of a spray can. Some of them I just painted with a plain old brush and paint every few years. Excellent storage. Especially for wood for your fireplace to keep it dry. And in the old thing that you will need out of the weather.
Garden spiders eat other bugs,very helpful.
I agree with you on the spiders but my daughter wooden she’s a wildlife biologist in course you know they believe everything has a purpose as long as it’s alive lol.
Love your channel and that you're living your best life whilst sharing it with us. Keep up the good work Mike!
You are an absolute joy to watch 😊 I hope you never stop 🥰
Free tools , always a bonus.
I am looking forward to seeing what you have decided to do with the 🎶BENCHES!!!🎶
Lots of fun and interesting things to play with thank you for sharing five stars my friend
Love the scrappy scrapping videos!! I’m convinced that you could build a house to about 75% complete with the things people throw away.
Mike, I wish I could keep all those Akro-Mills boxes you find.
I should be out forming my sidewalk for concrete. Guess it'll wait until this episode is over.
Hey Mike just want to say I don't comment that often but I enjoy watching you. You just go get that scraps metal. Thanks for cleaning up the scrap metal one day at a time.
I loved watching you pick up all the little scraps with the magnet-so satisfying!!
Mike you never save the smoke detector and money to be made from the ion chamber.
Can be sold to make sure your Geiger counter is working. Also save those right color safety vests. I order the material 18 mm by one yard. Those are handy on running pants and other items you want high visibility.
Mike have a good day.
Good finds, i can't believe the stuff people throw away. Thanks Mike.😊😊😊
This man is a national treasure he must be protected at all costs
Mike finds to coolest scraps. 🙂
I refurbished a bench like that with scrap pieces of hardwood flooring, from someone’s trash, so all it cost was some time and some spray paint.
Those should sell easy.
The “beer stein” is actually a coffee pot. I love watching magneto at work. It sure picked up a lot tonight. 😊 I do wish that we could watch you loading up Dottie like we used to. That was always great fun as well. Take Care Mike and Family. ♥️♥️🇨🇦
Hey Mike just what I needed today. Scrapy scrap. Hope all is well, ❤️
I love all of your videos. You are the best!
Keep on a’Scrapping!!
It just amazes me how much our society throws away.
Se safe during the Storm coming into The Carolinas, Mike... Love you...
I agree with you about the spider thing, lots of black widows up here in the BC interior. That wasn't a black widow in that dumpster, no worries :)
The little biplane and elephant were my favorites, they probably sat on some man's desk for 20 years.
Real beauty of a run...
Beatrix the tarantula and I would definitely argue that... "only good spider is a dead spider" she is my love
Great video look forward to the next one. Mike have a nice evening see you on the next scrapping adventure.😎👊🏻
Those Astronauts shoes were an awesome find not to mention those benches that you could fix up and sell! Awesome job Mike!!!
Those little drums you keep finding with the Locking rings are excellent for storage. I used to bring them home from the shipyard even the 55 gallon drums. I feel them up with items put the lock ring seal them up and spray paint them with the rubber coating and leave them out in the backyard. Especially the ones that you can put little locks on them.
Those benches are beautiful.
They will bring a pretty penny.
You inspire me Mike!!! I just hit a high in sales...cause I get the best listing done while watching your videos. I think if he can jump in and do all of this, I can knock out my sales listings.
Great marketing skills Mike, having the kids help sell your merch, like anyone could say NO to those faces. 🙂🐶🐶🐶
I 💙 MTS! 🐼💪🧦🤗
Yeah, another dumpster dive, that's the end of my working from home 🤩
Those benches were really nice, and they looked new. That's a score right there. 👍
Omg! You know how many flying bugs/pests there would be without spiders, you'd have some really fat birds though! Lmao
Before I retired I had a Home Improvement Company. We had 2 big roll back dumpster. We had the salvage hunters everyday after we closed. We throw always a lot of scape aluminum. We did a big business with seamless gutters. We also did big business with window replacement. In our area we have many aluminum widows and we would replace them with vinyl windows. Now the big jack pot was new windows we threw away. Once a quarter I would have our warehouse clean out of anything that we had not sold. Or maybe windows were ordered by wrong sizes. Or the manufacture sent wrong sizes. Or may be a defect. The manufactures did not want the windows back. So once a quarter we I would have my crew throw them out.
Can you imagine working at one of these places and taking some trash out with Mike in the dumpster? You hear noise and start thinking about raccoons and possums, then you get close and hear an excited chatter from the dumpster giggling about the quality of the wire scraps lol
Saving the Earth with a sense of humour... thanks and stay safe
Another fun day dumdster diving Mike can't wait for the next one would love to see what you do with the benches
Mike take one of those safety vests because if your going to be out at night like that you kneed it to keep yourself safe
You left the tee, footballs need a tee!
You rock it everytime Mike.
More like yourself today Mike. A bit worried about you. You are so amazing!!
Another great video thanks Mts u truly rock.
I used to remove main bearings from cast aluminium motorcycle casings, by heating them up in the oven. Just wait until the cases expand enough, and you hear the bearing drop onto the wire shelf.
That magnet is such a help with all that little scrap.
Good call on the benches
2 Boxes of Hardware and Such - Your Magnet came on Handy ! Tons of Wire and all Kinds of All Sorts ! It was another Successful Dumpster Diving - we loved it very much ! You are Full of Energy - keep that Up - its Entertaining ! We loved that Wooden Elephant and that Coffee Server Handled Job - cool old Plane made in Spain ! You even found a Vampire Stake - ha-ha ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!
You say, " Little piece of scrap, here', but they all add up, eh? Beggars can't be choosers.. You are always so enthusiastic, great man. Love it when you make big $$$. Should have checked the tv box for the tv remote?
It was interesting how you found these units of smaller scrap. I kept wondering how many empty containers you looked in before there was something worth diving for. A dumpster counter of how many you hit during your run would be very informative of how really hard your job can be Mike. Thanks for making it seem fun and easy.
that would ruin it. reality is much harder.
nice haul! love the smalls. Thank you for taking us along.
That’s one tool that has really come in handy (magnet). 🐎🌻✌️
Mikey the vampire slayer!!
Good night of Smalls Haul Mike
I like the benches.👍👍👍💯🌷
A variety of scrappage today! 👍👌👏My most favorite part of your videos is whenever your find wire.
Pretty good score for this go around, Mike!! Thanks for another great video!! Peace to all....💜💙💜
I really like your magnet stick! Works great! Thank you for what you are! I like like what you do at 200%. T-you!
The weather is beautiful and a beautiful autumn day Mike.
You're doing a good job collecting scrap.
When you said some one must have had some health problems, and was holding up that mannequin I almost fell out of my chair, LoL
MTS!,
I scrap in Phx, Az. Love your videos. Think I've woken up everyone in my house, yelling at the screen when you occasionally miss something, like the white cat5e wire in the broken glass dumpster.....Get the kitty cat wire Mike!!!! Like if I yell enough, you'll hear it! 😄
~LightMike
On the benches, replace the boards with some 1" thick cypress and coat them with oil (tung or linseed) or deck preservative. Will look awesome
Very successful trip. The only good spider is a dead one! Lol I agree. One almost took me out. Doc got me all fixed up though. And “hey” from Canada 🇨🇦
That poly thing is a harmonic balancer it goes on your crank for like a serpentine belt or whatever.
Saying "please don't be junk" as you're in a dumpster. For some reason, that struck me as funny! Though people DO through away some nice things...
Hayırlı işler dilerim ,MIKE !😊😊😊

Hey mike, the box that had the football, you left the kicking tee. It's not scalable but could have gotten few extra $ if you had the set.😀😀
Another good one in the can .
Nice haul! Great job Mike!
Thanks!
What about the brass fittings on the wooden bookshelf where the wood & metal filing cabinet was?? 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
I recognized that skyline case right away. That is for a pop-up trade show display. I've wheeled those into many trade show venues over the years.
In the whole country I heard the saying it says even in there dumpsters in America there is money I didn’t know what they meant but I discover the truth when I start watching Mike the scavenger🙏
27:52 agree 100% Mike
Thanks, Mike!!
Do not kill spiders just because you don't like them, they eat lots of bugs that bug you. Have a good day finding all the good stuff. Peace.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🧓🏻🧔🏻🕷🕸 bug that bugs you 🪰🦟🪳🦗🪲🐜
Great video. Thanks for sharing. God bless you 😊
I am totally amazed at how much all-thread you seem to find. There are so many projects I could use that for.
Spiders are my Tribe Mike! LOL!
Three old lady's in Canada love watching your clips
So good love all the little stuff it gets good 😊
