  • 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!

      I think I may still have my TI-84 from the old days. Those are the days when I had to go to the UNH lab to get time on the mainframe (the only computers available), and the two “computer guys” shut away in the printer rooms were long-haired hippies, grumpy about having to answer questions from the unwashed masses.

      Not saying to do it, but the sensor is just above the light. Point the beam there, and within seconds, the light turns off.

    there's a lot of steel in an office chair. it should go for shred, that's what i get for them. pull the foam and cover off, and the rest is usually all metal. try heating up the glue on those scanner/scales with a heat gun to help remove it a little easier. sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.
