  • 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!

    Why is it so addictive to watch you scrapping? I also find it motivating. Here in BC Canada recycling cans and bottles is really good money. At 70 and retired woman, that is all I can do to make ends meet. Thank you for the motivation, Mike. I would be rich if I could pick up all those cans, bottles and juice boxes.

    Just as I was sitting here being bummed out because it’s cold and snowing, I see a notification for my favorite diver! 😊 Thanks for putting a smile on my face, now I can brave the cold and head to town for animal feed.
    You got quite a lot there! I’m interested to see how all of that wire with the barnacles on it turns out. That stuff looked super heavy! Thanks again Mike, have a great weekend, and stay safe out there

    The Garden Ridge reference had me cracking up! I used to work for the original one that was just south of New Braunfels. Worked in their tool department many, many moons ago.
    Worked for the original owner Mr White I believe was his last name way before they got bought out and became At Home.
    It actually started out as a cement and gardening center where they sold cement mold products like heavy duty bird baths and before they expanded to Houston etc.
    His daughter was one of his main buyers and at first they started importing from Mexico and then expanded to China, etc.
    It is like night and day compared to what they sell in the At Home stores!
    A friend of mine whose family moved to Texas from Connecticut used to call it Garbage Ridge!
    Fun times, there is a dance called the Bluebonnet Palace and they had bands there in the huge dance hall part a two story bar in the middle and an actual arena for the Bronc and bull riding attached to it.
    Can't tell you how many times my friends and I would go there for happy hour and end up shutting the place down at 2 a.m.
    Just glad I made it through my twenties.

      @oldschool ace i used to shop at garden ridge in the 80´s. My apartment looked like a wicker basket had exploded. Remember the Papasan chairs? My friends Lori and Tracey worked there so I’d stop by. Good times at the Bluebonnet Palace. Remember Clifton Jansky and the Drifters?

    Never boring, love watching you pick. I like how that guy came out & said no not that, I need that. Love the content & commentary, watch yo head, watch yo head Mike. That is a lot of wire but how do you strip that with barnacles & such? Those drones could save you some time, just fly them over open tops & see what's in them, save on gas & we both know how high gas prices are.

Good luck 👍

    i'll bet that floating armored control cable has stainless steel bolts holding the individual armor clamshells on it. even with barnacles, the bolts are still shiny. that's a hint and a half they are the good stainless steel. there's enough of them, it should be well worth some time with an impact driver removing them. that is one big ass aluminum loving cup trophy, i'll tell you what. just drill a hole through the base and top, and bolt them together for an awesome floral display piece, or put a plaque with yer name on the base and put it on a shelf in yer garage as a 1st place trophy for bestest dumpster diver on the youtube thingy-ma-bob. 😁
