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 found a little over $2,000 in gold teeth in a bag in the dumpster that was with a whole bunch of old dentist tools and drills from the 60s and 70s from Cal State University...Everything from 14k,16k,18k,22k and 24k! I can definitely agree with you on the fact that dumpster diving pays wayyyyyy too well to not do it! Keep the videos coming big dawg!

Strange you found 22k and 24k teeth. I have never heard of a gold that high purity used because of it being to soft. Most common is 16k but 14k to 18k is not unheard of. Same reason Jewlers don't generally put expensive stones in gold higher then 20k.

Man, you make me want to go dumpster diving. Knowing my luck, I'd just find dirty diapers and other useless junk. Great finds, man. When I was a kid, my friends and I found a whole dumpster full of half gallon ice creams. Most were still frozen. We all ran home and got spoons! We filled our freezers with the best dumpster ice cream!

Pro tip to wash legos... Put them into a mesh laundry bag (like for delicates) and then put them on the top rack of the dishwasher to wash. Don't use the drying cycle, but take the bag outside and swing it in a circle to get most of the water out. Lay them on a towel to finish drying.

Half Dollars are a better bet. Many people don't realize that 1965 - 70 Half Dollars (only) are 40% silver.

A easy way to check if quarters are silver is to check the edge for the brown or copper looking line. No line means silver. Good score Mr. Mike!

Any US 'silver' coins older than 1964 is real silver. Since 1965 they're all copper sandwiched between 2 sheets of nickel.

@-oiiio-3993 3 года назад
@@Muscles_McGee Correct. To be more accurate, the outer layers of 'copper nickel clad' coins (1965 to present) is 75% copper, 25% nickel. It was first used on the 'Three Cent Nickel' of 1865 - 1889, then on the Five Cent Nickel from 1866 onward.

The 'War Nickels' were 56% copper, 35% silver, 9% manganese. All 1942D were the usual 75% copper, 25% nickel. The 1942 Philadelphia 5C were changed mid year, so both 'nickel' and 35% silver were issued. All 1942S and all 1943 through 1945 U.S. 5c were of the 56% copper, 35% silver, 9% manganese alloy. As you've stated, 'War Nickels' (35% silver) have large mint marks over the dome of Monticello on the reverse (back), the 'P' being the first used for Philadelphia.

Mike make sure you check the rolled up quarter rolls. You never know they could be all silver quarter or could have old or a few silvers in the rolls. There are also coins called double dies where a coin has been struck more than once a during the stamping of a coin when made. You are so lucky. Makes me miss the dumpster diving back in my younger years. Me and my mother use to go together. I would be the one who had to climb in after all the goody treasures lol. On some days me and one of my sister's would go dumpster diving or between me and my favorite cousin. Especially when mom wasn't feeling up to getting out on certain days but we'd still hit the good stuff but not as good as when me and moma went together. Moma knew all the good area dumpter's and the best days and times that had all the good merchandise that was still in a box or was still new stuff in the original wrappers. Well good luck on finding another dumpster with a nice bucket of money in it. That was one awesome vidio. I kept saying to myself out load, look for more lol. Take a double look in that same area and you did lol. I pray u have more good finds on other days when you go looking for more scrap and sellable items. I just wanna thank you for posting your video’s and also especially for bringing back my good ole days of many cherished finds in all those ole dumpter's with my mother who is no longer with us since 2004. God bless you and your family and many more awesome happy findings okie dokie. Thanks Mrs. Dory

Keep in mind however, not all nickels minted during those years were silver war nickels.. they of course will be within that year range but they also must have the larger capital mint mark on the reverse above the memorial. There are several during those years that are just normal nickels. 😉
