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!

Hey Mike if you want to keep your shoes from getting wet or so put some mink oil you get it at any shoe repair shoe shop where they have the products for polish and what you do is you take a toothbrush and you get it into those threads and I'll keep the water out cuz if you're going to be afraid that your boots are going to get wet and soggy then do that fix the problem

@29:39 That is a tape dispenser for gummed tape that requires water. I've got a 45 year old one (same model 52 from Nashua Package Sealing or NPS) sitting about 10 feet away from me right now.

The nec monitor is one of the best monitors of it's time, and expensive as all get-out. The Multeos series has 2 versions, M40 and M46. I have the M46, being used as a home entertainment monitor. It's from 2011 and cost $4,200 without the added speaker package. They were meant for permanent installation, mostly airports, hospital waiting runs, etc.

Mike take those old monitors and drop them from 5 feet on the top front corner and they pop apart then kick the big copper coil off the back of the picture tube in seconds! I used to do computer reclaiming and we'd swing those monitors like a sledge hammer into the cement floor with the power cord! Good times!

Man, sometimes I just wanna cry at all the wood and plywood you leave in those dumpsters! I'd HAVE to take that home with me! BTW, those are reels of magnetic tape (like they used to use for reel-to-reel tape recorders and cassettes), that is used for data recording by some instruments, then transferred to a computer.

I know i"m late! and you probably already know this, At 34:18 , that JetPack device is a portable internet modem. Cell companies sell them for people who don't want or can't use their cell phones as hot spots. Plans are usually cheaper than a phone plan because it's plain data. nothing fancy.

Why don't these dumpster manufacturers make drain holes in dumpsters anymore? We have an old one and it's got a 2inch hole with steel catwalk welded over it to keep the mice out.. no dumpster juice there!!

@carlacowling1789 3 года назад

I think they had to stop putting drainage in because it can contain potentially hazardous contaminants, especially for streams and rivers. I worked at a senior living community that had a roll off and - trust me - you did NOT want any of that "dumpster juice" running off through the parking lot and into the storm drains!

@DumpsterDivingMoe 3 года назад

I really wish they did!

@kandiwolfe1125 Год назад

I'm guessing they don't do it because it costs them a few bucks more!!

That's not a reel of film, it's computer tape, typically used for data storage backups. That's the stuff you see spinning on every big computer shown in old tv shows and movies :)
