  • 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.

    One of things I like best about your videos is the fact you wear the head light which make your videos much better to watch. This allows you to use both your hands which gives the fastest hands in Texas

    When it rains you can:
    * Tear down something like a big motor or a ballast etc
    * Drive around curbside, or look on Craigslist, Freecycle, Facebook groups, etc for curb alerts- go direct to the scrap no waiting
    * Do a project like build a scrapping work table, etc etc
    Lots to do to keep the peeps chappy ( :

    little song
    The word sonnet comes from the Italian sonetto, meaning “little song.” The origin makes sense, since the first sonnets were developed by the Italian poet Petrarch. But the sonnet form we are most familiar with today is Shakespearean.

    17:06 "What are these?" They look like once very expensive(?) Cisco wireless access points to me. Possibly the Aironet 1140 series... If so, they are End of life in terms of support, but they probably work just fine, even after their short flight from the dumpster to the truck.

    I love how we all look at it and see different things. I would have been going crazy about the fire extinguisher. That was the gem of that load. Clean it up get it recharged and either keep it or sell it and make about 75 bucks on 1 item. When I was scrapping I was always looking for those big items to make all the littles worth it.

    I gotta agree with the others. I don’t think a cop is going to waste his time with a guy who says “I left a set of aluminum rims next to a dumpster and they disappeared “. Nobody in their right mind would leave those outside and expect them to be there when they get back.

    • @harveylong5878
      @harveylong5878 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      maybe they were set out to be picked up by another shop etc. the whole if its by the dumpster means its fair game is why people have negative views of scrappers as thieves. if it looks to good to be true, make some effort to verify first before just grabbing
