- 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.

Can’t stop watching you find treasures. You are addicting dude. I wish I was you for a fat minute.🤣 just to be able to jump in and out of those dumpsters. 👍
That's so crazy! The light blue plastic bins are ones I designed for Adrian Steel Co.!
I love it when you just sail stuff through the air in to Dotty.
I noticed that too! Mike is the master of Flinging...Cracks me up how most of the time he hits the bullseye, I mean Dottie!😁
@@allyfoster2776 yup. Spot on. I would love to be outside a dumpster when he is it one and listen to him. I would be ROTGLMHO. He is amazing.
Hey Mike..As always enjoyed tagging along with you..Stay safe out there.
Howdy...Im 72...I used to dive...I MISS DIVING THE MOST
..ESPECISLLY WATCHING YOU...U R KEWL!!!
I saw a home design show where letters like that new sold for 80 dollars. Garage sell them for a quick five each. Great for a bedroom on the wall just initials
I like how you know a ton about a bunch of different stuff.
It astonishes the hell out of me the stuff people throw away.
Not first, but I is HERE! And just proud to be here. Do love me some MTS! Mike, you're the best. Love going down deep in the dumpsters.
Hi Mike those aluminium profiles are Bosch Rexroth thery are not cheap..and if someone want to build some cnc machine then buy them even used so as scrap are 1/10 value . All the best from Poland :)
Thank you for sharing this 🙌🙌❤️
Mike's my hero love watching and proud of his enthusiasm for recycling
Thanks, Mike, for sharing. I'm still here watching all the time.
Drive cams are every truck drivers nightmare one bad bump and the company gets notified including pot holes lol
I get all excited when I get these notifications! Love these videos!
What that he finds scrap metal
I've seen dumpster divers find good stuff they can sell on Ebay or donate to goodwill Steven and steph watch them they find good shit
I'm watching 2 years later and still saying "watch out Mike"' ! lol
His sadness..."Awe. It's all plastic, man!"
I've never in my 63 years seen anybody get so excited about a 2" piece of wire! Christmas in a dumpster for divers!
That's a Pallet "JACK "-------The Dumpsters love you too ! **** I've got a Honda civic, but I'm gonna start "Dumpstering" Too !
Ive got a clean honda accord but i throw clean ICW and electonics in it
Alright, alright, alright.
Scrapity,scrap, scrap, y'all ,ooooooooow 🙂😁🙂😁🙂😁🙂
Fabulous and so interesting
Good work there "dumpster Hopper" Ya got a good eye for metals.
Very nice stuff
I would've taken that duffel bag!
First time commenting. I have to say, the contents of Texas dumpsters are far better then the ones here in Oregon! Although, Texas is one of the few State that has a functioning economy. I need to move to Texas!
Indiana doesn't have good dumpsters either
Alabama either
Lol
Hola Mike? Cuanto esfuerzo haces! Me haces reír mucho cuando golpeas los dunsters! Saludos desde Argentina..😊😊😊
Mike the scavenger is awesome
Mike. You’re passing up so many good things for yardsale. Hats for one. Don’t ask why, but they like certain logos. Luggage, plastic containers , etc. it sells.
I've been wanting to tell him that too! He passes up so many free hats/caps!
Letters are money Mike! Every kid wants their initial on the door or wall.
They are plastic they wouldn't really appreciate them at the scrapyard
@@bethdavis1812 True, but Mike and his wife have large yard sales where they would, sell as well as his online eBay store.
Yes I would buy those letters at a a yatd sale.
Whew! What a workout. Dumpsterobics!
Gotta love some heavy metal.
I've seen a lot of dumpster dives who do not clean up after themselves even if it was a mess before they came they still don't clean it up
Good job.
Hi Mike.
Doesn't matter how much something weighs
You always manage to get what ever the item
Is you get it in there. And them snibbits always matter.
Mike love your videos please be safe and God bless you
This man knows his bananas
Great haul! Watching from Cebu, Philippines!
They look like wall partitions
Good night for Mikey👍🏼😆
Man brother, please, please include your scrap runs for us! It's not us wanting to know your business at all, but scrap runs are half the fun, especially for us that scrap too. Just wanted to say that when you find tons of wire and stuff, it's super cool to see what that stuff goes for, so when you're in a can scrapping we are like, sweet we are banking tonight type thing. Love your videos brother, never thought I'd be watching someone else besides me diving dumpsters lol and watching someone do it for up to an hour at a time on TH-cam lol. Crazy awesome brother, wishing you the sweetest ever bank garbage cans :).
Same here, I never thought that I would be watching someone dumpster dive BUT Mike turn's it into a funny adventure every time.
Love the sound effects
It was a blessed day for you❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Maybe an easier way to pick up those pallet jacks is to stand between the forks, it would be less awkward and you gotta protect that back. Stay safe brother
Your work is absolutely amazing man keep it up all the best for you
The small box mark McNeilius is a company up here in Minnesota where we build the garage and cement trucks at.
My existing daughter welds at McNeilius. I used to uber drivers from the airport to there all the time
another great night mike great haul
You know something I'd like to leave a comment or suggestion you need to get a swimming pool ladder that clips on the side of a outdoor swimming pool and use it to clip it on the side of the containers to climb up the container it would make it a lot easier getting up and down rather than trying to climb up the side of the container
That a boy mike.! Get that heavy steal the money is in the weight. And the copper wire to.! Get it baby.!!!
Grab those studs with a pair of vice grips and unscrew them, they are probably locked in place that way.
J’aime tes vidéos bonjour de la France bon courage continu comme sa
Moi aussi je regarde beaucoup ses vidéo et je récupére tous autant que lui aussi
@@rahgat9241 moi pas ts le temps mais bon sa fait du bien de temps en temps un ptit chèque
Mike you should invest in ramps and a winch it would save you a lot of pain
he's making enough money off utube he just has to act like he's scrappin now days...instead of putting stuff in a box he picks up 1 pc of wire and sets it out the door, very inefficient
Need to be careful with those capacitors lol they can hold a high electrical charge for a good amount of time.
Elechickens in the comments be like....
I've never cared about being the first to like a video, but, OMG!!!!!! I'm first on a Mike video. What up? Dude, love your vids. It's like watching my dream job. Love the obscure references. KEEP IT UP!!!
3:51 Gotta be strong.
17:40 Got to be strong.
Like the echo in the dumpster, Go Mike !! I know you have kept another mountain of stuff out of the landfill. Gonna figure out it ='s money !!!!!
Sounds like the title of a book by Mike the scavenger
echo of the dumpster
Phew! what a dive tonight Mike!
He sounds like Joe Dirt when he finds something he really likes.
Good stuff!! Thanks, Mike! Peace to all..♥︎
Well it looks like another successful night for dumpster diving way to go Mike
Got to be strong got to be strong let's go Mike
Ideas!! Take the palletts chop em up for kindling, if not make great garden seats,if not take slats apart, people pay good money for nice bundles of 🪵🪵 its easy $$.,
Mike takes good care of the homeless scrap.
Hi mike im happy to watch your video.
Mike, people pay premium prices for 3D letting.
Keep that in mind for the future.
Another hard working evening, thanks!
Scrapity scrap scrap scrap
Can't believe u left letters even tho plastic would have loved to find em ....anyway hi from UK the croweman love the vids
Hey Mike this is fun watching you dive good Job well done. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤣
Mike I love to watch your videos. O and my nickname is Dotty so I think your b truck is awesome.
Keep on with the keepin on Mikey, Mike Mike!
thanks for your videos they are very satisfying a hug here from Brazil
Yup nope yup nope😄 funny
You need to write down a special intro song for every post, Mike
I will gladly take some of those monitors off your hands...Would not be a problem to come to H-Town! As a small town scavenger myself...I love tagging along on your adventures! Cant get enough!
Every spool makes me want to build cat towers. Wrap them in rope and use PVC to attach them to each other. Money!
You rock mike I did that back in the80 s we called it garbage picking. So much fun
Wow what a good haul😎🤘
Your follower from Iraq
Looks good and amazing.
MIKE! Always collect the Letters!! Decorators love those things and so do kids. Personally, I prefer script and as a homage to script, because it isn't taught in schools here in the Midwest anymore, but I will use my MCCM if I can get the letters cheap, at a YARD SALE!
Spot on vid as per normal mike
HI Mike great video great great scores Dottie filled up very fast .
Pretty good haul this time Mike
Good morning Mike
This trip is jackpot.
Nice wire score I just picked some out of the dumpster as well 👍
U live at the good place bro... Many nice stuf in dumster n collctor buy it high price
walking outside at the end of the day to dump the trash and hearing, *LOTS OF BOXES OF STUFS*
LOVE to know what the heck is recovered!
Here in Australia we even recycle all that soft plastic wrap. SAVE THE OCEANS, SAVE THE PLANET.
Here in America we dispose of everything and we don't think about consequences only profit, hell we even dispose of human beings on the sides of roads and city streets
You should be taking the light aluminum studs tie them down even light scrap is scrap
Micidialeeeeeeee niceeeeeeee
Digging through the trash like a bad ass!
Love your vids 👍🏼👍🏼
I love what you do mike.....but black cats are NOT bad luck! They are good luck and beautiful souls. 🖤🖤🐈⬛
Good score tonight
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsh "Be vewey, vewey quiet. I'm huntin Snippits!!!"
your city should give you an award for all the crap you keep out of their landfill.
You can fix that pallet jack
Guten morgen. 👍
Hi love your videos , hi from Birmingham United Kingdom 🇬🇧xx
I think that heavy "shelving" was from a warehouse. Last big company that I worked for had big warehouse for storing, of all things, hard back books. When you're storing thousand and thousand of books for a regional book seller ( that is no longer in business today ) you need heavy duty shelving to store it all before it can be sorted and transported to the retail locations. I know first hand how heavy books are since I was injured in a warehouse accident, and was almost killed by about 2000 lbs of books! It's the reason why I have been on disability for that last 20 years!
Smartest thing you ever said just take it out get it out your way you're always going to put it back we know that just get that s*** out of your way so you can get to the goodness and get to the next dumpster for somebody else beat you to it just throw it out we know you're going to put it back Bubba it's all good man that way you ain't got to keep fighting with that shitt
Yes!!!
