  • 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!

    I live by a army base the amount of good stuff the soldiers and their families throw away is unbelievable. A lot of times they get stationed at another base and don't have the time or space to take their property with them so it goes on the street on in the dumpsters.

    Man I am glad you are doing the recycling bit, no matter what it is. I used to do that 40 years ago, when I lived in Texas. But, with one difference, I always closed the lids on the dumpsters. That way when I went back around no one bitched me out for letting their dumpster fill up with water. I tend to think of it as a courtesy for letting me dive there next time. But, after a while they stopped all that. Man that looked like a good pizza! You sure find neat stuff. Saturday evenings is a good quiet time to dive. That filing cabinet looked better than the one I got, discounted, at Office Depot. Man, you never should leave a good piece of wood/plywood behind, that stuff is like gold if you go buy it. You got a good haul. I’ll subscribe and give a high five!

    • @mikehazelwood6106
      @mikehazelwood6106 3 роки тому +2

      Considering its size and shape, it's likely cast brass, not machined! Cast metals brings far less than milled metals! A shame, but true. Still, it's worth more than scrap iron and a worthy find if only because it was kept out of a landfill!

      @Tearflavoredcereal 3 роки тому +1

      Gota be careful with big backflow preventers. Here in Florida scrap yards WILL NOT buy them with out a plumbers license or commercial plumbing license. You can try chopping them up with a saw zall in smaller pieces and mixing it up with other brass.

    Mike I love you and your videos they show the real things . I get upset when you find things that have an expiration date by ya month or so or is about to go out of date and you won’t have anything to do with them. Do you understand that there are homeless people out there you could donate the things to. Have you ever wondered where your next meal was coming from or been so hungry that you would eat anything? Think about this when you come up on some of this type of things next time. Please keep your videos as real and true as they are and God Bless you and your family.

    fasten one of the short ends of a 6x9 tarp to a broomstick, or piece of pvc pipe, and the other to your cab bulkhead wall, and roll it and unroll it over your scrap crap. i used to clean up rentals, and had to cover my load to go to the landfill, so i made one of those deallyo's to keep the tarp where i needed it, when i needed it. i also used it to cover alum. cans when i took them to the yard so they stayed put.
