- 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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!
Those boobie caps were limited edition .... With the green layer on the inside made of silk. They are worth hundreds . only 5 of them ever made. Well 10 but they come in pairs!!
wait are u for real or is this a joke lol
Pug Sniper1234 no he isn’t joking, it was from a 1988 Victoria secret limited edition sale.
@@Mattum I think they both trolling.
It actually was from the 1988 Victoria street sale. Very rare and worth a lot
Pretty sure they are actually kippahs
Well Mike, all I can say you've come a long way from these days. I'm watching your first videos & the stuff you leave behind is astonishing! The metal cabinets on your 1st or 2nd vlog, the metal wiring, the computer stuff, the fall lawn decor that could easily be fixed & on & on. LOL I'm glad you learned & learned fast!
Makes me feel nostalgic to watch the older dives ;-)
2023 still watching some of Mike's older videos.....
& 2024
💚🤙🏼❤
Mike the saveger. Dumpster diving dumpster. Best. Friends. Track. Ford. Jeff 😊😊😊❤
I like it when you open the dumpster lid and say "Ooooh" lol
This may be my new favorite channel. I used to think I was the only one into dumpster diving.
This got me so motivated I started diving into my own trash can
Yooooooo...great idea.
Lol funny XD
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahahahaha
13:40. Who knew? "This little hook thing" would go on to win an Emmy for best supporting actor.
Cleanest dumpster diver I have ever seen, where I live, someone who dumpster dives leaves the trash all over the parking lot.
And cleanest truck! All Divers need to take notes from Mike.
You never fail to amaze , thanks mike😊...
Love the happy Ooooo when you get a good find.
2:00 i normally don’t like dumpster diving, but if this was the apocalypse, those plates would be like a godsend.
Holy crap I am so addicted to you guys!😘Amazing!!
Ur commentary was honestly the only reason i started watching... now its just a quiet no talk, showing a dude digging threw trash
5:58" looks expensive"he said,lol
12:15 are NZ plugs for 230/240 Volts. Great haul that day. Good video.
Also Australian
Dang I'd absolutely love to find a bunch of bottles like that
I love the way you just jumped in and make your way through everything. It was faster and practical. Also, you can also use both of your hands while filming. A good way to go. More power.
With all these great finds I'd be building me a badassTIME Machine.
I like people like these. They take reusable stuff and make put the back to work via recycle or repair.
I would have taken the energy drinks, drained the cans, then sent the aluminum cans to the recycler for cash.
Yup that's at least a few bucks in aluminum in Michigan its 10cents a can but not on energy drinks yet.
METALMAN4Wii here in Finland its 0.15€ per can and you can get it from energy drinks and alcohol cans👌🏽
In Germany every Bottle and Can is 0.25€
___RickGrimes___ u all living that rich life😂
I actually done that once 2 years ago. Found about 300 cans of full soda in a dumpster and it took me well over 3 hours of opening and draining to get $15 in deposit money. Definitely wasn't worth it. But they would toss away lots of food daily and I kept and ate the best stuff. Always had to leave behind dozens of snack foods, canned goods, fruits, milk, meats as it was just too much for one person to eat. Of course the place went out of business as they seemed to toss more away than they actually sold. LOL! But I was literally not buying groceries for months because of them. Dumpster diving can be so wonderful like that.
Free money good find .
Back in the 80’s, My grandfather would go out at night when it was bulky garbage night. He called it ju ken as he would bring back the junk fix it and sell it at the flea market he had a stand at. He didn’t need to do it but, it was his hobby. Great video bro 👍
388gruardian called hoarding
Grandpas are awesome. Mine just drinks and doesn t even recycle . guess we all have our hobbies.
@@girltoastergaming989 It's only hoarding if he kept the stuff. Since he was fixing stuff up and selling it, it's more of a hobby that made a few bucks for him.
I get the giggles every time he says, ooo!
2 years later, you crawl in the sloppiest dumpsters to dig a 2 inch piece of wire out! Lol! Never saw this video, don't know how I missed it!
I found beer in the trash before and I don't drink, so I will either give it to someone or poor it out and recycle the aluminum cans. Knowing me I probably would of taken every single case of energy drinks and I may even try one and only one or maybe not, yet I may dump the energy drink out and keep the aluminum cans for recycling. I have never found that much in the dumpster before. I do love it when I find sodas and yes I do drink too many sodas. Do you take food to? Have a wonderful diving time! BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!
When you see energy drinks perfectly fine not use in a big plastic bags you know you hit the jackpot
Ooooh! Booby caps 😂😂😂 I'd have a blast dumpster diving with this guy
7:46
All those electronics but you just gon leave the real prize there!?
Spongebob!!!!
Yes I seen that haha!
Love it dude i use to scrap and plan on returning when i get my 69 flatbed running. 1 tip for you: back your truck to dumpster to get in and load truck and a 2ft ladder to get out😉. Work smarter not harder...as my pop used to say. Save your back.
@mike the scavenger
2:30 use the planks for shelves they are in very good condition
You know it's good when he says"were going in"
I wish we would find this much usable stuff magnetfishing, but at least we get some scrap money out of it haha. Great video, I love watching these!
We're going in! All stations prepare to DIVE DIVE DIVE!
Ok I will have to say I love the sound you make when you find something exciting
Like how you work, no messing around good job
14:43 did this man really just Rick roll us?!
xD
Frost Galaxy what
You kids these days, keep your 1987 Rick Astley Music down.
Super vidéo buddy
amazing what you find in dumpsters
Make an upside-down u-shaped ladder with one step on the bottom of each side to throw over the edge of deeper dumpsters....This is a great channel. I used your entry style to recover my GF`s wallet and keys she dropped in a dumpster while tossing the trash...she asked how I knew that and I said it was from watching your channel...lol
11:47 wtf was that sound
root.kavespy WTF💀
Donald Duck making a fly-by. 😂
😂🤣😂🤣 a weird fart lol!
😂😂😂
root.kavespy no idea
Marathon Watching 7/19/22 Trashy Good Finds part 2 ! Nicely done ✅ Mike! A+++
Energy drink can last for 3+ years if not open..My friend sister work at" Mother "energy drink in OZ,she was saying energy really has no expire date,but 3 years is safe enough to say...There were a least 3 or 4 hundred in there
Bet he could have gotten $1 each selling them at a spot on a corner.
For sure! or maybe $1.50
Monster
Whats" Monster" never heard of it.We have Mother over here
I can tell you there is a hell of a lot more then 3-4 hundred
started watching a few weeks ago...absolutely love the show.....all the way from UK.
I can't believe you left Spongebob sitting there.
He said >SHOOOD ILLL TAKEIT
"shoot I'll take it" 😂😂😂😂😂
You are the only professional i can find here... the other dudes leave so much stuff behind!
when you were looking in the dumpster with all the computer boards you missed a memory stick. Stay safe in all you do
Mike, those things you called tanks of somekind were bases for bank drive thru lanes. Would have been good haul.☺
Can't believe you left the tech deck and I saw a spongebob toy!!!! #iwantedthose
He says he does not know to much of anything. And I believe him!
Stopped the video after 10 mins. It amazes me no end how much perfectly good stuff people throw out.
Fascinating stuff! (Resume watching)
The cover @ 1:45 is off a rooftop HVAC system control box panel, Guessing a Carrier unit. The rest of that looks like a unit roof mount kit. @ 13:24 Goodman HVAC top and motor.
14:46 Rick Rolled 😂😂
Thank you Kanye. Very cool!
0:43 had me dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
0:39
is even funnier
11:40 PRISTINE new still sealed plexiglass left in there,...worth a fortune. OMG!!!! Youre killin me....
Well it's like they say,
"One man's junk is another man's treasure."
its amazing all the resources we throw away.
Oowww, whats this , oooowww 😂😂😂
Dumpster diving with shorts on! WTF? Good plan bro! I hope you had your shots!

I got u Fam
Thanks my guy
My brudda
@@liamb8940 Yeah
Thanks m8🙏🏼
That was helpful
Lol i said jackpot right when i saw all those computer boards good scrap right there
I remember when i was young a i was jumping into dumpsters finding all sorts of stuff. Nothing really usful but still fun
All that stuff you found around the 8 minute mark was all underground tank sensing equiptment for underground storage tabks for the gasoline industry. I work around that stuff everyday. Mildly valuable but mostly just recylable stuff.
And that my friends is how you get a key to a gas pump,lol.
The mount on the tv was good also them tanks would be great for a Gardner. Open all them energy drinks and you have a huge bag of cans
Once found a Hoyt compound bow, spent about 20 bucks putting it back together. Sold it for 450!
I used to go dumpster rootin, found bunch of good stuff and some things I still use. Before it went out of business the radio shack threw out display models of alot of different items and odds and ends. I used to go by Pets Smart cause they toss out even super premium bags of dog food that got damaged on the shelves, bunch of fresh stock 65 dollar bags of Blue and other super premium dog food.
You have XMAS gifts covered for the whole family for years to come......... lol .... JST KDNG😂🤣
leaving sponge bob in the trash can is the devils work
A huge energy drinks score 😮 schöne Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
Ich würde gerne so was finden 😓
@@nebelbreitsamernebelbreits4545 ich auch ich hätte alles mit genommen
@@nebelbreitsamernebelbreits4545 Ich auch
So ne Anzahl an Paletten hätte man hier in Deutschland easy peasy verkaufen können oder einfach die Flaschen leer machen und jeweils 25ct Pfand einsacken😥😍
When you find a jackpot back the truck up and one move.
You can harvest gold and silver from some Electric boards.
Almost not worth doing for the gold tho if I'm being honest not unless you find super old mother boards that were made with a lot of gold
I just now looked at the time..its been 7 hrs since my last comment lol and i relized i been on a binge of your vids for that long lol good way to relax on a sunday
Hi I am watching on a Sunday too
Those Energy drinks might have been a Recall...My first car had a "BOOMING" stereo! everything but the Cassette deck was from a dumpster behind two local stereo shops. Also found some cool german made wooden boxes they shipped their speaker in complete with hinges and hasp locks i converted to tool boxes.
6:05 that lucky bastard just found a flux capacitor

Lol it's funny to see a couple of things after watching MANY of your current and even a year old video's... Doddy loosk naked without her walls lol and how you hardly jump in back then 😂. Now yout fearless and jump right in lol.. Still love watching your adventures though 😊
Friend: "Hey Billy, what do you do in your spare time?"
Me: " *dumspter dive.*
Friend: "oh"
Energy drinks are bad... Glad you don't drink them 😀

Id pay 50$ for that game
Do a gta video.
Lmao
Those little jars are awsome
These are some amazing finds. Those motherboards will sell locally for quite a bit (Craigslist,OfferUp,and letgo) N2O Jose is like 73 $ each it’s made for dentists but car people will buy it to. Thank you for the amazing content.
excellent work you do in our streets congratulations friend a hug for you and good job
I was a garbage man for a year and i got paid almost 15 an hour to dig in the trash .... I would have had the garbage in the truck instead of the hopper haha rich people throw away some great stuff i swear
BrandonCroyforJesus 8 what’s the best thing u found?
@@theobryden2889 a jewelry box full of jewelry .. from diamond rings to several really heavy gold chains all the way to wallets abd purses with money ... The best was probably one of the the jewelry boxes because I made almost a grand selling the gold and I even gave my mom one of the pairs of earrings for mother's day ... They were yellow gold roses with white gold stems and had little diamonds all over them .. and at Christmas time I got over $200 in tips ... I only did it for just over a year but in that short amount of time I completely filled my house and garage with furniture and nic-nac s...I had it set up to where I would fill up the truck and I would hide it on the side if the road or in someone's yard and then after work and I got back to my car I would ride around picking up all the things I kept throughout the day... I got caught so many times they finally stopped getting on to me for keeping stuff out of the trash haha .. I actually miss that job ... I'm back building cell towers now but I really do miss it sometimes ... Onetime i had a yard sell and had a jar slap full of money and towards the end of the day I went to buy several boxes of pizza for everyone and left the jar on accident and of course it and a lot of the stuff was gone when I got back ... My neighbors mom was "watching it" for me when I left and swore she didn't see anyone take it but I believe her because I'm pretty sure she's the one that took it but it's all good all the stuff was free so I didn't trip to bad but it was the last yard sell i ever had until I finally quit that job and when I moved from that house I left the door open and told the entire trailer park to take what they wanted .. keep in mind this is a true story okay hahaha , anyhow , my new job didn't work out so I ended up coming back a few days later and there was nothing but my couch and a whole crap ton of trash left haha ... I had already turned the power off and gave away all the food .. all I had was literally just a couch , a kitchen full of trash and a few broke dishes and some cold water hahaha... That was a hard year that year but looking back now it was a lot of fun .... I miss it ... My little boy running up to me when I walked in the door and me and his mom we're still together , I had a really cool but not so well paying until the last few months of it which was when I made like $14.70 ph and it seemed like I had life all figured out but then life happened haha ... Well thanks for reading my long essay of a comment .. hope you have a blessed night
BrandonCroyforJesus 8 WOW!!😳
Yes they do
U r a trip dude . I really enjoy watching ur videos
I use to work for energy drink company if they throw it out was one the customer already paid for it, and the skid was entered as paid so they couldn't resale so they dumped it to make space for the next customer.
Rath Bone i dont get it.. Can u explain plz 😶
I couldn't of left all those energy drinks lol
My mom goes 'curb surfing'- driving around in subdivisions looking for things tossed out for the garbage pickup. You wont believe what people throw away that is totally usable and works- flat screen Sony tv, dining tables, antique chairs, paintings and much more.
That is one way to use a wheenie roller and extension pole 😆
8:04 this man pulls a vibrator out of the garbage
I didn't even realize that! 😂
Lol that sucker connects to the Wall outlet bruh
Tuk and he kept it
How’d you even see that lol
Hh Hh People that are aware of wtf is going on at all times some people refer to these people as conspiracy theorist being woke not bending over and taking the big red white and blue penis that is forced down our throat
Hahahah i like when u get annoyed bc u dont know whats inside the dumpster
My husband would be so sad lol he loves energy drinks. He would be in that dumpster upside down getting every single can lol
cant believe you just chucked the plexi glass back in haha
oct 2018 mild mannered mike finds a dumpster full of energy drinks "not my cup of tea" - sept 2019 yoyoyoyoyo whats up in here OWWWWWWWWWWWWW (i think he took the drinks home)
And that's how Mike the scavenger solved poverty
45 seconds in I am laughing so hard "Oh bobbie cup "
Definitely grab all the circuit boards, the connection points are gold on most boards. Just learn to separate it.
1. Waterproof, steel lined protection boots. Buy some, son! Everytime you jump in, I about die expecting you to land on something unsafe in those sneakers (nails, sharp poles, rats, thick wire, homeless person with a machete, used drug needles). *mom cringes and faints*
2. I am curious, does this stuff end up piled up at your home while you figure out what to do with it?
3. Shocking on the amount of Energy drinks wasted, but better in the trash than in your system. :D

Cool videos. I subscribed.
Working on getting me some new shoes and I keep things at a storage unit as my wife would freak out if I brought this stuff home, but I move stuff pretty quick selling and scrap is gone in a couple of days. Thank, you for the sub!
We'll have to see if we can help with some new shoes. What size? LoL
I just recently got a PayPal set up and am working on getting a PO box. That's awesome someone would want to help me like that :)
