- 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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!
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!
My guess is it's the excitement of the hunt, it's basically a treasure hunt
Hello from Russia bro, I wish you good finds.
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
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.
Don’t think that’s a vase but it is for plants of sort!🤣🤣🤣
The glass head is freakin cool.
The glass head would make an awesome lamp. Picture the light bulb inside coming on!
A New Mike the Scavenger video! First thing to do push the like button.
Good morning Mike I see you got a new truck awesome
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.
Hi Mike love your work 🎉😂😢😮😅😊
Good finds hope the gaming chair works.
Goooooo Mikey!!!!
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.😁😁
STAR TREK koltuğun da geldi ; hayırlı olsun ! Uçuşa devam !😊😊😊
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!!
Sa una kong pagkakita sai imong vedio 2016 mike scavenger, the good boy
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.
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!!!
Well, he was saying his gentle, gentle.Gentle i'm thinking this guy's the bob ross of scrapping

Is that a flower vase!! 😂😂😂😂
Love to see the chair when you put it together 😊
Thanks for sharing 👍🤓👍
Damn Mike! MORE awesome finds!!
Mike, you are so freaking funny sometimes. You had me laughing so hard at your comments...appreciate you 😂
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?

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!
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.
We need more Mike
Mike as always another Fantastic Video. Have a Wonderful Day
Glad to see you getting some more stuff for your space ship 🚢🚢🚢🚢❤❤❤

Took the head but left the "flower" vase 😆😆😆
Put the flower vase with the glass head - BANG - Instant art piece😅
Mike,you make my day!I love watching you're videos.
Good afternoon ❤
The crystal head!
Would make a great lamp. Some dope head would buy that for sure.
Great episode my friend!!!!Enjoy every minute!!!!
Texas Mike the Scavenger in “Search for the Crystal Head” movie prop 🤣
You always find the good stuff kicking wing ✌️
Mike may I say what a neat scrap man you are on packing your truck very tidy scrap❤️👍👌
You’re on a roll today! Loving all the risky chatter. My favorite TH-camr.
those weights are easy to restore and resell. You could probably get way more than the scrap weight for them.
Hey Mike, love the glass head..lots of great stuff today. You are a super packer..your a funny guy, extra funny today...thanks mike 😊😊😊
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 🥰🇮🇪🍀
COME ON mike you know what that was dude . And the bell went BONG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mike your videos are awesome just not long enough getting shorter 👍🏻🇨🇦
Man mike. You really know how to pack a truck. 😂 I keep thinking you full and you find room somewhere. 😂. Love your vids
The best dumpster diver on You Tube. Everytime a awesome video. ❤
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!
I love the dad comment "My son was into Mannequin heads for a while I'm not proud of it" that was funny stuff
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 !! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦
Thanks for another nice haul Mike!👍👏👏👏😍
Excellent vids Bro!!! Wish it was easier to Dumpster Dive where I am. Keep on diving and I hope you have a blessed 2024!
Awesome run, MTS! Keep on saving the planet. One truckload at a time. Much respect!
Love the chair great find
😊
It's scrap spring cleaning season.
Pelletized bedding,also good for liquid spills and cat litter. Great to keep around. Missed opportunity..
Also great as mulch in garden beds if you can get it for free like that.
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.
Mike is definitely not a guy to go head-to-head with in jenga. Packing efficiency on another level.
what was that accent when you picked up the microwave??? EXCELLENT!!! U rock dude.
Greetings Mike. Amazing treasures., lately. God bless your family always
Networking some yummy scrappy scrap!!!!!!👊👊👊👊 And freaking the wife out with a glass head🤩🤩 Awesomeness again brother!!!!
Good one 👍
While you were in the dusty dumpster, I couldn't hold my breath long enough
So I had to pause the video so I could take another breath.
Good morning 😊❤ another entertaining day. 😀 😅🎉❤
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
Loved the table .Fun again.
Mike found someones special vase 😂
Mom's trashed the party, too funny 😂
Copper snibits, my favorite. Copper = $$$
Excellent video great content thank you for sharing this six stars brother
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.
The Evil Bong🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
To late now but you should take it; it's a BONG!!
Mike Thanks for another video. Please be safe out there.
Hii bro love your video's 😊
Thanks for all the videos these last few days!!
Aww you don't say "Shhhhhhh" any more. That always made me laugh. So now I think it when the metal makes a lot of noise.
