  • 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.

      As you watch Mike go through his scrapping Alton House, you’ll find that not only is he Everything you’ve said he is, but he’s also Very Clean not only cleaning up his mess but any that he finds. Also he’s very Kind, and I have to say that I appreciate the fact that he doesn’t swear, and has the funniest laugh, and he laughs at himself as well. I just love him and wait for each video he makes to come out. 😊🙏♥️🇨🇦

    I have been watching Mike's "scrappy-Scrap" videos now for a few months. I really enjoy the viewing. Mike mentioned in passing,that some viewers were not liking his "hard breathing" while "scrapping" recording his "junkyard adventures".
    To this breathing issue,I would say,anyone who has done any manual labor,knows elevated heart and respiratory rate is much increased. It cannot be helped. Does not bother me in the least.
    I would like to add here though,to Mike,you REALLY need to buy or find a pair of steel toe and shank boots to wear on ALL your "dumpster diving" as it will only take one huge nail or some other long,sharp object in the dumpster clutter to land upon and pierce your shoes and foot,to really ruin your day/night and possible permanently injure you.
    I have worked in heavy construction many years and I can tell you severe injury to the feet is not good.
    Keep up the good work and very funny videos,and by the way "Watch Yo Head" Ha!Ha!Ha!

  • @frankforrest1597

    Mike pretty good haul. Watching you with my late morning coffee. The red item with the black end and handle at one end is a pick-up tool for metal items. I use one for metal shavings and bits of steel at work. Hold on to it for stuff you can't reach or picking up LOTS of little bits of steel,nuts and bolts,screws and such (lots of a little=a lot).
    Be safe out there, Aawwoooo, y'all!👍✌
