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!

HOLY CRAP !!! You could have picked my eyes up off the floor and my jaw with it when you just lifted that stove right out of the dumpster !!!! 😲😲😲♥️🌈🇨🇦. And the old cookbooks usually have the BEST RECIPES.

LMAO... Now I feel old! " These are some Oooold school cookbooks y'all. 1961!" The year I was born.

It be fun to spend a day scavenging with you or preparing for garage sale.

@snoozin99 3 года назад

I'd use them lockers for my shop lol, they'd be great for keeping all your miscellaneous stuff in them. :)

@OriginalNethead 3 года назад

Those cookbooks have an audience, especially these days. The old ones are where the good recipes are from before they made them "healthier" and "easier" and removed the resemblance to food.

@Jibbie49 Год назад

Mike is like the Little Engine That Could, just keep checking dumpsters until he strikes pay-dirt.

The law says you can't read someone's mail, they never said anything about taking their mailbox lmaoooo

@jessicahedin5140 2 года назад

When you bang on the dumpsters and get all excited when you see something in the dumpsters. You remind me of animal on the muppets banging on his drums . But in your case you play the drumpsters 😂

@philliplozano7326 3 года назад

@frankforrest1597 3 года назад

Nice haul brother Mike! If possible, try to sell the mail boxes, there big bucks bud, much more than scrap. Another fun adventure Mike, even if it wasn't all that "slick and sticky" Awoooo ya'll 👊👍✌️

@gatormike1434 3 года назад

The hot tip for favorite shoes with holes in the bottom is Shoe Goo from Walmart. It makes your soles like new (around $5). Thanks for the vids.

@timothynewell2943 3 года назад

Nice find on that big copper wire.

@kimratcliff3279 2 года назад

Mike, just fyi the mail boxes are bought by the landlord/ owner. They were in the trash, they are yours.......but you could call the post office and let them know you have scrap boxes that have "postal issued locks" still installed. It's the big lock holding the entire door closed. It's called an "Arrow key lock". They sure would appreciate it.

@Tinabme1166 6 месяцев назад

OMG I collect those type of old cookbooks. I have over 2000 in my collection. I saw them and said oh I want them. Then realized this was 3 years ago lol

@moeloogham8463 3 года назад

You've got an eagle eye. Half the time, I see only garbage where you spot valuable articles. Way to go!

@francesconrad9671 3 года назад

Love the cook book , people put them in the yard sale They sale like hot cakes

@Vault57 3 года назад

Mike, Look on the hinge edge of doors for a underwrighters label denoting a door as a fire rated door. Also look inside factory made holes predrilled for screws, lock set mortises and hinge mortise. If you can see ANY white or light gray material inside the door through these holes...it’s asbestos (this was how I would get my samples from a door without busting it open). This applies to wood doors as well, I’ve seen a few construction site messes due to ignorance regarding fire doors. A worker with a 20 dollar tool can make a 2000 dollar mess in very little time. Most of these doors will come from buildings prior to the late 1970s.

@davidchelson8069 3 года назад

Paul!!!, get your pallets out of Mikes dumpster!!!

@johnzee691 3 года назад

Those mail boxes, the only thing that the post office owns is the main key mechanism that open the whole side exposing every mail slot.the keys in the individual doors are not postal property. That whole box can be unscrewed and parts replaced as opposed to it being all welded. Different kinds of stuff there. There’s probably a resale value on it as a whole that’s better than just scrap. Post office stuff is all fading away. Cool find

@chrisj3091 3 года назад

Up cycle mail boxes Retro ...respray dril! Some holes in Back out some lights in.... Retro storage even for a kitchen can me made into spice cupboards ect...... Just saves scrapling

Always keep an eye out for "The Joy of Cooking by Irma S. Rombauer" It's got quite the following and the super old ones can fetch a nice price. Also, the recipes are delicious!

Brother, you must be living right to find that hose lol I mean straight-up copper, those things sell well just for 220 extension cords and man are they expensive. :)

@michelebroyles6941 2 года назад

I hope you kept those post office cabinets. They'd be perfect in your garage. Just take the doors off.

@megapint8962 3 года назад

IN OR AROUND THE DUMPSTER IS FAIR GAME 🤑👍👍

@KG-xt4oq 3 года назад

Just an idea to deal with the 'dumpster juice'...maybe keep a pair of oversized rubber boots/galoshes in the truck that you can slip on/off real quick. Would let you stomp around the bigger dumpsters/open tops without messing up your shoes.

There's still a lot of houses out there with asbestos shingles what they did was they put aluminum over it or vinyl and never took it off and people who buy houses later on find out they got to have all that asbestos rooms and it's not cheap.

Mailboxes are privately made so they are not government property they're probably worth about two hundred bucks each

You do a service x2. . . you free up space in the dumpster so the customer gets better use of it and you recycle stuff that shouldn't be going into the landfill anyway. . . so you GO boy.
