I still can't quite understand why I find myself so hooked on watching a guy going through dumpsters so entertaining, but I do. And realizing that this guy is making an honest and decent living from people's trash is truly inspiring
Because he's awesome at it and it's better entertainment than you can find anywhere else... He's wholesome, you should watch his videos from back in the day until now... He's come such a long ways, and he earned every dollar he's made!
In alleys dim, where shadows sprawl, A dumpster diver, short and small, With pockets full of dreams and holes, Searches for treasure, takes his tolls. With practiced eye and weathered hand, He scans the bins, a promised land. A rusty fridge, a broken chair, Discard's bounty, everywhere. He spins and lunges, fakes a kick, "Roundhouse to the rusty pick!" A mighty punch, a battle cry, Then grins to reveal a missing eye. But wait! A glint, a copper sheen, A wire snakes out, a lucky scene! "Ha! Victory! My prize I seize, Scrap copper wire, brings me ease!" He holds it high, a rusty crown, A wealth of pennies, fortune found. For in this cast-off, cast-away, He finds his riches every day.
That was a smoke incubation chamber for studying the effects of low, atmospheric pressure and smoke movement. Lotta people have studied this over the years, but they’re still mysteries to be solved.
Mike, that glass head is actually worth some money depending on who made it. they were usually used as floor displays in stores way way back and up till about the 50's or so when plastic became hotter than 2 hound dog trash pandas in a dumpster. if its from the 70's which is what it looks like it worth around $75-$300 id roughly say. an antique shop can tell you more seeing it in person. definitely don't just toss it or sell it at the yard sales lol.
My brother and I say "Brett" whenever we lift something heavy, 12:00 because of something silly that happened at work 20 years ago. I about pissed my pants when i heard you say it.😁😁
Mike the Scavenger, in his natural habitat! The tangy perfume of discarded dreams, the symphony of clinking bottles and rustling plastic bags - these are the scents that stir his soul. Tell me, where has Mike's nose (or perhaps, keen scavenging intuition) led him today? Is it the back alleys of a bustling city, or the forgotten corners of a sleepy suburb? And what secrets might this particular dumpster hold? Is it a treasure trove of vintage vinyl, a forgotten collection of dusty comic books, or perhaps something more… mysterious? Author Unknown 😎
👏👏👏👍😊 Well it wasn't a collection of dusty comic books this time it turned out to be a gaming massage chair lol...The life of Mike "Livingston" Scavenger...a big fan of suitcases!
Mike Mike Mike!!! Dude-a-saurus-rex!!! So much stuff today !!! Thanks for taking us along! I appreciate you!!! That glass head was awesome!!! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!! Stay weird!!!
Another great haul Mike. I tell you, you are definitely one of the best truck packers Ive ever seen apart from my husband. No hole left empty, excuse me for being rude. Another great video. Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe . .best wishes from Ireland 🥰🇮🇪🍀
Another awesome haul Mike. I have to tell you I might have nightmares from you singing Knocking on Heavens Door. 1st Nascar race a very drunk guy started singing it about 4am until he passed out a few hours later. Just .knock knock knocking on heavens door over and over.
Love that Glass Head - loving it ! A New Massage Gaming Chair - You need to put that Together for us ! Betty was loaded up to the Hilt - full House ! Great Street Scrapping and Dumpster Diving ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
I love that mike doesn’t do “ filler “ content. Always good wholesome videos. I watch DDE too and some of there videos are just random rubbish, where as mike always has good videos and i really like the follow up and the around the house videos.
Another Superb video Mike I hope the glass head will not freak your wife to much, I just love it when you find unique pieces great job today. Thank you for letting us tag along. PEACE!
Another Great video, thank you Mike. I’ve been wondering for a while now, have you ever gone back to that “haunted” dumpster ? Do you remember it ? You were in, and you popped up stating that someone tapped you on the shoulder. But there was no one there !! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦
Awesome video MTS you are just the scrap king in my opinion. I just saw the iscrap app they critiqued your video of you scraping the tankless water heater and he said that you did a great job doing it.
You are such a great person, always positive, I love watching your videos, it relaxes me a lot. Keep it up and I wish you only the best. Many greetings from Munich in Germany ✌🏼
Well that’s another great night’s work, and another entertaining video. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures, Mike. Stay safe, from your friend in Australia 🇦🇺, Rob T
Hello from Russia bro, I wish you good finds.

My guess is it's the excitement of the hunt, it's basically a treasure hunt
That was an awesome flower vase with the ability to water from the side !🤫
It is a bong, for taking meds to help breathing problems, yes!! 👉🏻💥👈🏻
Sure, flowers, that's what it's for 🫢
😂😂
kid prob hid it in garage and went off to college

Good morning Mike I see you got a new truck awesome
Don’t think that’s a vase but it is for plants of sort!🤣🤣🤣
The glass head would make an awesome lamp. Picture the light bulb inside coming on!
Hi Mike love your work 🎉😂😢😮😅😊
The glass head is freakin cool.
A New Mike the Scavenger video! First thing to do push the like button.

Goooooo Mikey!!!!
Good finds hope the gaming chair works.

After a couple hits off that bong would anybody give two shakes of a rat$ass ...?!? Loved the delightful way you wrote your intro..... 💜🩵💜🩵💜🩵💜
And everytime a awesome video, that's Mike😊
Ooooohhh, a curbside show. Woo hoo!
👏👏👏👍😊 Well it wasn't a collection of dusty comic books this time it turned out to be a gaming massage chair lol...The life of Mike "Livingston" Scavenger...a big fan of suitcases!
To late now but you should take it; it's a BONG!!
STAR TREK koltuğun da geldi ; hayırlı olsun ! Uçuşa devam !😊😊😊
Thanks for sharing 👍🤓👍
Well, he was saying his gentle, gentle.Gentle i'm thinking this guy's the bob ross of scrapping
those weights are easy to restore and resell. You could probably get way more than the scrap weight for them.
I use to have one of the glass mannequin heads back in the early 1990's. I wish I still had it now, that's a great find!!
The crystal head!
Would make a great lamp. Some dope head would buy that for sure.
Mike Mike Mike!!! Dude-a-saurus-rex!!! So much stuff today !!! Thanks for taking us along! I appreciate you!!! That glass head was awesome!!! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!! Stay weird!!!

Copper snibits, my favorite. Copper = $$$
On market place here, metal weights go for $1.00 a pound, and used realtor signs holders go for $10.00 each, all day long.
Glad to see you getting some more stuff for your space ship 🚢🚢🚢🚢❤❤❤
Love to see the chair when you put it together 😊
Damn Mike! MORE awesome finds!!
Mike,you make my day!I love watching you're videos.

😎
Greetings Mike. Amazing treasures., lately. God bless your family always

Another Great video, thank you Mike. I’ve been wondering for a while now, have you ever gone back to that “haunted” dumpster ? Do you remember it ? You were in, and you popped up stating that someone tapped you on the shoulder. But there was no one there !! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦

So I had to pause the video so I could take another breath.
ciao Mike , have a good dive !!
Mike Thanks for another video. Please be safe out there.
Mike your videos are awesome just not long enough getting shorter 👍🏻🇨🇦
As long as it’s free, always take the head.
Step up method👍
You need a Tommy Lift tailgate on Betty White!
Awesome video MTS you are just the scrap king in my opinion. I just saw the iscrap app they critiqued your video of you scraping the tankless water heater and he said that you did a great job doing it.

Good one 👍
My neighbour has a glass head.. here in UK..3:33
Never refuse Head , LOL Mike And Mike them blue plastic Pallets sell great because they last ,
Hey Mike nice video, if that gaming chair is complete that is a nice catch as they are expensive. 😅
hope he makes a vid of it being put together
How about making a lamp out of the glass head? That's what I would do. Aunt Granny 😉
Nice finds
Is that a flower vase!! 😂😂😂😂
The Evil Bong🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok Mike what kind of show you running here today..a bong …Head …and Love boosters…😂🤣😂🤣. Interesting trash🤣🤣
MTS, that was a thumper bong. The most expensive and virtually indestructible bong ever made. They go for about $200 new.
He seems to pass up on some things that are worth a good buck quite often 🙂
He doesn't want to get demonitize! UTUBE is strict on so things!
@dianewilliams1125 it's called editing. They need bever know.
Pot is illegal in Texas, what's why he didn't take it!😮😮😮
@@starrroberts-n9hPot is illegal in Texas, that's why he passed it up!
Honey l brought a friend home ! ✌
