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 love capitalism, but the number #1 thing I HATE about it is that it is VERY WASTEFUL. And Mike does his part to recover some of that waste. Thanks Mike

Almost every ex girlfriend I’ve had and my ex wife threw away any tools she could of gotten her hands on! Anything that would get me upset 🤷🏻‍♂️. My mom trashed a lot of my fathers tool years ago. I grabbed back out the trash thou! Hahaha

@robertschwartzman195 11 месяцев назад

You should see what the USN threw out in a dumpster one day. I found snap-on tools and sockets tossed. They looked so helpless and took them home where they would be cared for. That was back in the early 1983.

*At **9:45**:* *That round ring with the holes and the two slots is a toilet flange repair .That style is used in case one or both of the slots where the bolts go for mounting the toilet to the floor break, you set that flange over the broken flange and screw it into the floor. The round holes in the repair ring line up with the original flange holes so the screws can go through both and into the floor.*

@genehasenbuhler2594 11 месяцев назад

The stainless steel ring that you thought was for a swimming pool light is actually a replacement flange for your toilet!😁and the bullet you found is cut to be a bottle opener!

@antoinettefoster5598 11 месяцев назад

What great finds Mike. I just dont understand the mentality of people throwing away tools. My husband has tools belonging to both sides of the family that go back generations. I suppose we belong to a more wasteful society now. Thanks for another great video as always . Have a great weekend with your wife . 🥰🇮🇪

@struckbylightningteresap1396 11 месяцев назад

Nice job. Where I go rich people put nice stuff out in front of the dumpsters. I post the stuff and make a killing selling it. Unfortunately I only have a car but have gotten a lot of furniture I could fit in my car and sold for good money. I’ve sold rugs sinks, lamps, tables etc. I’ve made a killing on what I can fit in the car. I even got a grandfather clock that works that I kept. All prophet. I once had 10 people fight over gulf clubs, whoever got to me first I sold them. I love collecting other peoples trash, it becomes my spending money. 😊

Hey Mike, do you ever get back to that Haunted Dumpster ?? Do you even remember it ?? Lol lol. Not to be nosy but I’m being nosy lol. Do you have any kids ?? I think you’d make a great father. You’re so funny. ♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦

@robertschwartzman195 11 месяцев назад

Hey Mike those brand new wire could be for wiring for the Atari hand controllers and can be resold to game stores or hobbiest that like to build. Why would someone throw out hand wrenches and others. The key you found is to open some electrical cabinets you found once before remember ?? All those noodles could been sent to the middle east or to countries that had earthquakes. The fighting have left so many with out basic necessities. Until you don't have much of food any little bit helps. Even the food pantries could use the food to help locally in the neighborhoods. I'm hoping someone will read my PSA and help.

Don't joke about body bags. I was working near skid row in a big city we were having our morning coffee in the alley in our truck. A large black van pulled up in front of us and started pulling large black bags out of it. They cut open the bags and there were bodies inside. They cut off the clothes put the bodies on stretchers and took them into the building. We drove around the front It was part of the medical school Dept of mortuary sciences. What a way to start the day.

@OscarTovar-yu4zm 10 месяцев назад

Mike I just started watching your videos (found one by chance) and I like them, I enjoy the fun you're having whille jumping into a dumpster....Today I was watching Dumpster Diving "The Age Of Reason Begins" and not one minute into it in the dumpster you find a plastic statute of a native American and you started mouthing what you believed was funny, a native American song (not a real native American song) but your version of one which I thought was very offensive and for that reason....I will stop watching your RU-vid channel...I hope you will have a heart and never offend any other race again. And I would also hope that an official appology on your channel will be at hand....you owe that to the Native people you offeneded. Thank you Mike from the bottom of my heart.
