  • 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!

    Mike got me motivated too. I've gotten 3 big led TVs and I was able to repair 2 of the 3.

    I LOVE watching and listening to Mike, but honestly, everytime I see that he's wearing those pink heart-shaped sunglasses on I absolutely crack up. And then I think of the times that he talks to people whose trash he's picking with them on and the camera/light strapoed to his head....what a hoot!!

    You should do a video of stripping out the big battery backup and maybe the computer, testing batteries, and showing how much wire is in a desktop. I've stripped out a fair few and you'd be surprised how many batteries are still good and useful. I've connected car batteries to a large (1000w) backup so I can use my black and decker alligator lopper to get roadside firewood quietly, also can use a 4" angle grinder without loading the 5 kva genset on the ute. Good for cutting up scrap onsite where there's no power.

    About the fire extinguishers. I think you can go to the company that makes them and ask for however many you want. They will make them safe and depressurize them (expired ones of course)Some are aluminum some are steel.

    mike about the fire extinguishers.
    we have had ours checked last week at work and quite a few required replacing due to their age and damage.
    i asked the man if they recycle them and he said they are classed as special waste and his company have to pay to dispose of them.

    Okay, Scrapper Cousin Mikey, this will be my last commentary about the ALUMINUM CANS. There will be a day when you will regret not saving them.
    I mean look at our Austrian cousin Bigstack, he shows his smelting of metal. Granted the accumulation takes time and the smell, you caould invest in one of those electric kiln or a gas and make ingots.
    Just think about it....
    Great score on them batteries and the adventure of it all🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!

    Just a quick question - are you up to date on your tetanus vaccination? Really a good thing to have, especially jumping into those grody dumpsters, full of who knows what kind of bacteria.
    I was 2 years behind on mine, not a good thing, because I dig around in my flower beds and compost bins. My doctor told me, that as a retired nurse, I should know better!
    Nice haul on the audio-visual equipment - your chatter while scrapping makes me chuckle!
    Stay safe!
    BTW, I do my part in recycling, by driving around each autumn with a bunch of grocery bags and a small shovel, and a tarp on the floor of the trunk. Folks throw out perfectly good dirt and even perennial plants to the curb, and I gather as much as I can! The dirt goes in my compost bin, and the perennial plants go in my flower beds! Why buy, when wasteful folks are willing to supply my needs?

    You are the one that got me scrapping. I watch every one of your videos. I am 67 and on disability because of a motorcycle accident. The money I get from disability pays my bills with not much left after that. Now that I am scrapping I am able to go out and do things. Like fishing , metal detecting, camping and do a little bit of traveling. Like driving to different states that I like. I love the mountains. Thank you once again to interducing me to scrapping. Will be thinking of you when I am lying in a creek somewhere smoking a joint.

      They had those projectors in some of the classrooms. Sometimes the buld would burn out and now have the led replacement ones made for them. I picked up one and it's a beast of a unit. Reason they dumped it was the safety interlocking cover broke. Simple fix.
