- 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.

Mike: "I'm going to get out of this nasty one."
Also Mike: *keeps digging further down*
Mike i would like to have the harry potter books how mouch for all
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Nick. Glad you weren’t with them when it happen.
Love that you smacked the shit out of the glass😂
So sorry you had to be the one to find your Buddy. My thoughts and prayers are with you as I am sure this nightmare reoccurs while you are sleeping. I too lost a very good friend to drunk driving and he drowned in a creek. I was still in the Bar when Officers came to tell the Bartender.
Is this why you don't drink now?
Kills me...said he is getting out of here like 6 times...still in there digging...lol..love this guy
You are a cheerful and practical man. I admire you and your hard work, and I wish you a profit
You hit the Jackpot with all those small Alu Gearboxes - what a Fantastic Find - You always hit Dumpsters like that - We love it and many many Cheers from all of us here in Australia !!!
So sorry about.your friends. You are right where you are supposed to be doing exactly what you're are supposed to be doing. Getting stronger everyday, helping so much. 🙂
Yep ! The american dream reloaded.God bless u.s.a and all her dumpsters! keep going!
Hey Mike, I've been watching you for months and can i say, you have taught me a lot and been thinking on doing it also but maybe start out little like neighborhoods before garbage day. It is amazing what you find in these dumpsters. I always look forward to your videos. my Wife just cant believe that people just throw it away, but i got her to watch you too.... Thank You
Mike is back with a brand new scrapping adventure !! Great start to the week!! Late afternoon viewing here in England!!
I am so sorry you had to experience that Mike. I found my best friend who died from a heart attack. Death is never easy and if it is easy for someone, I hope they get help.
Little Free Librarys. I have one in front of my house. Take a book, leave a book.
We do them here they’re called “ little feee libraries”. We put them up all around. We’ve done 7 so far. People love them.
I’ve read those dragon books you took out, they were great adventures! The guy who wrote them, starting writing the first one while still in high school! Thanks for saving them out of the dumpster! ✌🏼❤️
Yes those were good books.
my fav series
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Nick, but remember, that he's doing good up there! Also, those little boxes with books are in our country normal. There is a rule that you take a book out of there and you give there a book that you don't need anymore and somebody else can enjoy it you know. It's good :)
Puddin...you are an amazing young man. Just when I think I've seen the depth of your kindness, compassion and caring about other people... like when you speak of
"your girls" or the never ending gratitude you display towards your viewers, you pop up with a story like in today's video about Matt. I believe that you are a genuinely good person, with a big heart and a caring attitude. Not to mention you're a very entertaining fabricator ... LOL
Pott County Legend 💙
Love how he said “This must have been someone’s trash.” 😂
The world throws things at us to see if we are able to handle the situation. God grant you peace in the knowledge that you can keep going.
Regarding the little free library’s , you can go on line and find out where they are. Good for you for putting on the books that kids will read!!
Heyyyy. .. .Mike! Pretty diverse grouping scrap, I'd say! Thanks for sharing this with us! Peace to all.💜💙💜💙💜
Me: "break the glass, break the glass"
Mike breaks the glass
Me: "😮WHOA🤣😎YEAH😂🤣AWESOME!👏👍
You pick up anything that you think you can make money on or something that someone else may be able to use you are a good man.
GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL WHO READ THIS AMEN.
Sorry for the loss of your friend
It was nice you named the dumpster after your friend, have a good night 👍👍
Wow...Bridesmaids dresses, soldering irons, aluminium doodas.... what a haul!
Was one of my favorite treasure hunts back in the day.
Breaking the glass top in the dumpster was not as sinful as it would have been if it flipped out of truck bed and shattered on freeways. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Peace brother
Sorry for the loss of your friend!!! Happy you weren't with him!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Keep on diving & B SAFE!!!!👍👍👍❤😜✌
You start wearing those dresses, your gonna have to rename your channel Michelle the Scavenger!! 😂😂
Whenever u find people's RX in bags that ur keeping make sure u throw them away just to be on the safe side. If ur caught with them they will put u in jail for having another person's meds.
I wondered about that too!
Keep safe Mike! Stay happy!
I don’t say much but love your videos, they keep me occupied on these long sleepless nights.
Come on Mike, you know you wanna put on the purple frilly dress! Lol! Quite the collection of wire, metal & dresses. Oh my!
I’d love to see Mrs. mike with you one day. Her comments on what you do would be so enjoyable and probably hilarious 😂
I have often worried you would get stabbed by a needle going through dumpsters so fast. Please Be Careful
yes mike that is a pole that u ground a trailer or house too thats where the aluminum chord is attatched too underground i have scrapped out some of it in my 25 years of life i love watching ur show
If the Weller soldering station works, it could bring in some cash, it is one of the finest brands in soldering equipment
Get the hatchet! Yay he got the hatchet. Well done MTS!
love “Nick’s Dumpster”…. That’s my sons name and he loves dumpster diving and watching your videos. We found about 20 tomato cages today… super fun
"Eeww I think I just saw cockroaches, im getting out of this nastiness, this is too much". 4 minutes later "oh look at this this is cool" 🤣 I love it, just can't help yourself.
Well no wonder you are so strong! God bless brother 💪🙂🙂
Nice to see Mike going full Conan the Barbarian with the axe :D
Sorry you lost your friends that way. Another great night scrapping. Be safe and stay healthy. ☺
Dude, so sorry for the loss of your friend. Remember the good times, as they out number the bad. I too have lost friends under similar circumstances, found a buddy that committed suicide, still bothers me at times, thinking if only I did this or did that. Can't change what others do. My hart and prayers go out to you. Please be careful with the rugs and the like for bed bugs! Awful critters to get rid of. Maybe the reduction gear thingamabobbers were of a discontinued item/model, thus chucked in the dumpster.
Keep on keeping on, Mike!
Awoooo y'all👊✌👍💪
Love your saying and acting up. When you say watch your head Lmbo ❤
I love how you can leave dotty running while in the bin and know one nicks it, if we did that in uk it would be gone
Put the bike trailer together, then pull behind Sunday and use for small scraps you find .
Hey Mike nice scrap haul..👍👍
The large rug was the most expensive thing in that dumpster and it looked pretty nice and they sell great at yard sales
I would have been disappointed if you didn’t break that glass! 😂😂
Great Garage Sale STUFF Mike!
Thinking you were going to leave the table but no you come back with a ax. Damn all those aluminum motors. Check out that baseball card may be worth some money Pete Alonso won rookie of the year in 2019 and set the record for most home runs hit by a rookie.
I am sorry for your loss Mike. Good journey Nick.😞
Mike that's why you will always be bless cause you always thinking about others. You're New Name.....
Mike With The Iron Heart🥰 ❤️
Omg that's sad.. I'm so sorry to hear about ur friend
Keep up the awesome work Mike
Take one bring one. If we destroy books any thing happen to our technology we will be lost .
They made a movie in the 60s about that .....farenheight 451
@@vwbusguy It was actually a book first, lol. Written by Ray Bradbury in 1953. Ahead of his time I think.
My 2 favorite you tubers are from texas. MTS and Thelma thrift .Love you Texas folks .Hugs from Montana!
Sorry for your loss 🙏❤️
good job mikey stay safe
Sorry about your friends, and very traumatic that you found them. Very hard to visit that site i would imagine. A lot of grevious stuff happens in this life, and a lot of beautiful, joyous stuff. Youre a "glass half full" kind of guy.
Mike! You're Hilarious Brother! I laugh with you on your daily Adventures, you've got Great Punch lines and 1 Dedicated Soul to dive them Dumpsters! 😂 Live your Dream and keep it Going!
Omg scavenger Mike I'm praying for your family and your friends family sorry for your loss keep your head up never drink and drive or drive under the influence of anything else always take a cab or call a solber person I got a ride to a motel once by a state trooper better to be safe than taking the chance god bless you Mike for making sure that all that reusable stuff gets repurposed and for recycling I'm doing the same thing but cleaning up the River access and parking area 💯💯glass and cans don't pay much but rather clean up the environment god speed 🙏🙏
Wow awesome
Mike those Harry Potter book sets go for between $40-$80 a set on Ebay.
I really enjoy your videos.And thank you for being who you are, you're real sincere and?
Play harden meaning you're gonna get since of humor and Everything.And that's why enjoy being a subscriber to your channel
"Y'all want some limes?"...lol
Nice haul . you'll too funny,(role play).love it.
Yes Sir, you are correct in thinking that that post is a ground. 😊🌈🇨🇦
Turns out you didn't build a spaceship, you built a time machine! Went back to 2019 to let yourself know to get the yard sale stuff too 😂😂😂
Recycling stuff and providing kids with reading material, is there nothing Mike can’t do??
Thanks for sharing about your friend...I feel for you.
Это не мусорка - это бутик...такие вещи люди выкидывают...в России такого не найти...жду от вас подарки на память...
Dude, you are the best dumpster diver.
Sorry to hear about your friend who died. Yes drinking driving is a bad thing to do. I use to do it all the time. But in this day and age it’s hard to stay away from anything that kills you. I stick with my back yard green that helps prevent my seizures. That’s a wonderful thing. Thank you good Lord above for saving me from 4 Spinal Meningitis episodes. Very thankful of him that I’m still on my “2 God Given Cadillacs” my feet. Be safe out there Mike.
Mike great score of scrap metal have a great day
Mike,nice score on electrical dumpster,a lot of resellable things,breakers,maybe even box!!
Nice glass braking Mike 😁👍🏻
I'm so very sorry Mike. I have the utmost respect for you ❤. RIP to your friend. I been there. Watched my best friend die in a fire, I'm still messed up from that. But ppl say I should just get over it. It was right after her 8th grade graduation.......
Yup it is a grounding rod. Usually about 8feet long. Just drove one by hand a few weeks ago.
Good run again Mike
Yes the rod you found is a ground rod that grounds all electical, gas, phones, cables plus its solid copper. It usually comes in 8 ft rods and gets cut down to size.
Great greAt job Mikey. 💓
Sorry for your loss. Rip Nick.
The dumpster gods are smiling down on mike the scavenger .. scrappy scrap scrap
Even Covid wouldn't jump in that Hobo hotel!
I think that purple lacy number with the platform shoes would've looked good on you lol
Some of those dresses really are very pretty. Size 8 is still a little big for me but there is such a thing as taking them in. 😊🌈🇨🇦
Sorry for your loss. It still hurts no matter the time.
Nice Mike
I was driving home from work the other day and when I drove into my neighborhood, I saw two broken fans next to the trash can at the curb and I said "scrappy scrap"
Great videos as always brother. God bless👍🏿
Good job mike
You had me dying @ the mattress
Hi Mike ,that glass outdoor table that you broke with your hammer,all you have to do is to bring the legs inward and that loosen the glass,you are strong,you can do it lm sure🇨🇦♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sell the table at a yard sale. You pass up stuff that can be more money than scrap. That white plastic box with the power adapter is a wipes warmer.
It is a ground rod. All green wires and bare wires will go to one spot so alot of wires don't have to go to the electrical box. The rod is usually copper cladded steel and get driven into the ground and one or two bare copper wires will go box to rod and fastened to the rod with a special clamp .
Other utilities may also clamp to the rod.
The Weller soldering set is perfect for circuit board soldering
35.38 just leave my dumpsters alone🤣🤣😭😭😭😭 you should tag your favourite dumpsters Mike👍👍
You forgot too say watch your head lol great video mike be safe out there lance
Sorry for the loss of your friend. Can’t imagine the pain and nightmare that lives in your mind.
I think you could have sold the table at garage sale for more than scrap.
The reverse role play joke was hilarious i wonder if it went down tho lol
