- 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.

This channel was a random youtube suggestion, and I would never have imagined I would enjoy this kind of video as much as I am.
no vídeo apareceu a bandeira americana na casamba,será que o Mike viu ela na hora da caçada da sucatas...
All of these "you left this and you left that, what were you thinking?!" comments are really disappointing. What exactly is the point to them? Mike either did not see it, or he made a choice to leave it. I love watching Mike hunt for things and he's taking us along with him, stop being such a backseat driver.
cant believe you left those cases you spanner lol. they were the true value.
Dang Mike you are getting so good at scraping the dumpster gave you a itemized receipt when ya tosses that calculator in the truck! 😂😂. Good score!
Killing it Mike! So awesome you found that cat, thought it was gone for good. AAOOOO y'all 👍
That lollipop was a candle that you light up if you are in your garden in summer at night chilling out
Grab the strapping too🤯
Those black cases most certainly have gotten you 5 or 10 bucks each at a garage sale, and there were a lot there. Tut tut tut Mike. You have to Really think garage sale !!! 😘😊🌈🇨🇦
I'd be taking all of those padded cases on the double! Perfect for storing miscellaneous possessions and the sort.
People love to buy that stuff garage sale for sure, but get it, if you don’t want to store
He lookin for items he can turn a profit on.

@@terrybyrd3738 .
@@terrybyrd3738eeh u would have to find the right buyer for those but if u wanted em new those are easily a hundred bux a pop double locking with the secure hinges u can't just pop out. Good stuff but for sure hard to ship kuz size = price. N thats alot of space to store
I'm sorry, I giggled when you threw the calculator and the paper unspooled all over. You used my phrase "Seriously?" My kids say that was the one that would perk up the ears of them as they were always sure I had found something they had messed up. 🤣 Like on Meercat Manor 😂😂😂😂😂
Дай мини
1:35 Passing up a CPU, distracted by a lollipop.
LMFAO RIGHT i saw the same thing. the gold content on those older chips is pretty good too
lmao i saw that to. If iy was a pentium from 2004 the amount of profit he could have made is rediculose
Bro it was probably broken
Throws the calculator and the tape flies across........:D love it!
That was hilarious. Toss a calculator. End up, TPing Dottie.

16:15 You take all the strapping tools, but leave the strapping behind? That makes a lot of sense.
Those strapping tools come free in a new box of strapping. What he's actually taken is 15c at best of scrap.
Think he knows his buisness, what he can and can't get rid off more then you do .
@@JJsAdventures777
Learn to be a little less illiterate.
It is spelled:
business, not "buisness"
of, not "off"
than, not "then"
@@shawbros Don’t try to ignore his statement.
@@Yeetius911
His statement is filled with illiteracy. Why do you defend illiteracy?
And in most of these videos, there ARE a lot of people that mention the exact same thing (overlooking a lot of stuff that is of value). With that many people mentioning it, the business *IS* there, Mike just doesn't know it.
You are amazing and creative. Take care of yourself. We love you and follow your adventures
A daywooooooooo lol 😆😂🤣 haven't seen one of those in ages!!
7:16 kills me every time
Computer memory is huge profit and takes up little space, stock up on it and watch for gold to spike. That stuff sells for $18-21 per lb. It really adds up over time just sayin :)
Did he leave some RAM and a CPU on the floor of that dumpster? Dang
Gold adds up too!
@@dr.a006 , Yes he did.
Now imagine if someone had a few BTC stored on one of those drives
You fry my brain..
So much stuff 😎 you dig and dig.. hop all over the place, u r one hell of a person who cleans up after you dig. I pictured you as a blonde haired guy but then I saw your face and your wife is one blessed gal. U r an environmental person who loves the world ❤️🌍.
Lil scrappy scrap lol mike you killin me
That open top with the poles must have been a sign shop.
Bro I can’t believe people throw away all these really good stuff and then you come to pick it up it’s so crazy I just like this channel so much
That calculator paper roll made me lol
ngl that calculator paper was funny af 🤣
Great scores brother!!! I was on a scrap run the other day and stoped at a dumpster and got basically a whole large trash bag full of electric wires and cords!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Be safe happy scrapping😎😎😎
Omg I would have LOVED those cases 😭😭😭😭
hffuggjggkeexbmmmmvgud
Yeah, Ima pass on the lollypop. Lmao
I thought i heard Dottie call out "Mind My Head " at 13.34 or was it my imagination ?? LOL !!!
all those black cases would go for $5-10 yard sale, flea mkt.
sell them all to a flea marketer wholesale.
Marketed as ammo cases $75-150!
Woo Hoo , I love your Energy . I can’t go as fast in the dumpsters as you do, but I do get my stuff . Glad to see you are with all of us on saving from the landfill , keep up the good work and keep on diving. Be safe & God Bless you 🙏🏻❤️🤗 You have a lot of very useful tips & information on your videos , I want to start scrapping but don’t know what to get , so I do retail Dumpster Diving for now until I learn more 👍🏻
Only way to learn is to get started. And watch Mikey
that big piece o pipe made me jump a lil when it hit the ground! haha!
Great finds! Thanks for sharing! As always, WATCH YOUR HEAD! WATCH YOUR HEAD!
Those cases you left behind are $250 a pop where I live and used to ship camera equipment and test equipment around. I think there were 20 there.....$5000
Even used?
@@joshhaynes4737 Sorry....was working.....yes, even used.
You leave a lot of stuff behind that you can sell for big money..
I have one that o think is bigger my cousins wife works at a hospital. Its foam lined to .I wonder if that's what I got.she said it was for a medical camera or scope wonder if i have one lol..cool case tho .u could use it for alot of things. I love hershel cases. And old trunks/treasure chests style are my favorite. I have a problem with cool boxes I vamt stop collecting them
They're PortaCount cases for respirator fit testing equipment. Could easily be repurposed for camera or other fragile equipment.
Great finds great work! So glad for you keep safe and God Bless keep making those finds🤗😁
I get just as excited as you do when I see wire.. fun stuff...
That was a weird lollypop lmao
You're looking in the trash in an interesting way. You put together every little wire, but you leave the pc processor and memory there. I whisper, the contact of both of them is yellow because it is gilded.
I had to laugh, Mike is no TECHIE!!!
@@AdamosDad
Yes, he often does not know what the different computer parts are.
⁰
You go get it!!!
I like it when you jump in and out
I need to learn how 🤔
Don't forget to sanitizer your hands, Mike
I think he rolls with if it don't kill you it makes you stronger
@@Rollsjr
Exactly 🤛
👍😍👍....
Mike is the Best, somtimes the Visitors see more
Mike be killing when he say THERE GO SOME HOles!! OVER THERE!! 😆
Love watching your videos. Love to see all the scrap you get & treasures.
❤️❤️❤️
Hey Mike on the bottom of the first dumpster where you found the computer remains is a ceramic gold chip and several other pieces that might be ram. Great video!
"Whats up noodle?"
I have to say I never thought to greet a pool noodle
I love dumpster diving 😊
Need to think outside the scrap envelope. You missed some valuable stuff. A few hours spent selling on eBay could have netted thousands there. The cases alone would probably go a minimum of $50 each.
Kept the banding tools but not the band? The kit would have sold for at least a couple of hundred bucks.
"The kit would have sold for at least a couple of hundred bucks."
Not necessarily.
I see some kits (includes strapping tools, 400 seals, 690' strap) for $54 on eBay. (eBay Item # 322410207634 or 401630855204)
Whatever the kit sold for it is money it all adds up in the end I dumpster dive many of times even the pallets I would take we used to sell them for $5 a piece
1:38 seconds- I see gold! You left it there!
That's a computer processor
@@Splatts103 still gold 🤟
Computer processors as well as almost all other circuits made after 1980 contain gold lines circuit pathways for conductivity. It is very easy to chemically remove. Tons of vids here on TH-cam showing how. He left easy money in like six of those dumpsters.
Ol boy is a blast, but takes the measely metal scraps and leaves the tall dollars lay, Amazing!!
Wow you are awesome to find the scrap metal to the dumpster
Those cases could get sold for gun storage with some new foam
good haul brother man
Nice dumster diving again mike,, scrappity ...scrappp!!! Awww!!!😂😂😂
Hi Mike
Well it's about blimming time you had some good luck.
Well done Mike you work very hard for the scrap. 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🐾🐾🤩🤩🆗🆗🆗
People throw the vacuums away because they don't want to clean them.
You'd be amazed at what some women will hover up 🤣🤙
Some people like men...
That’s no joke....I’ve gotten several Dyson ball vacuums and a few sharks that just needed the normal filter maintenance and they worked like they were brand new
@@sandramcnight407 don’t be sexist
23:49 those cases are worth money if you take the foam out and letting the people that will like them use them for what ever can be put into them.
I wish I can gat my hands on those.
I was thinking the same thing. I agree. He should’ve definitely took those. Taking the foam out and selling them as general use cases would have been exactly what I would have done.
you are very hardworking.i am proud of you bro.never give up
Winner winner, chicken dinner lol
That iMac Mini is still worth a considerable amount of coin today.
It's a mac.... even dead they are expensive.
yeah not a Apple TV
Yes worth thousands
Hope it works
@@LizaTerraASMRLOL no
Should have taken a the strapping supplies. Was worth $$ to a shipping company.
This is the hose that doesn't end, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started pulling it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue pulling it forever just because...
All that Computer Goodness - ha ! Doggy needs fresh Air - wow ! As You said : it all adds up ! Lots and Lots of Goodies - man - these Dumpsters were soooooo Good to You Tonight - well done indeed !!!! I have a Girl Crush - but will take the Lights instead - ha ! We Love Your Videos and Stay Safe and many Cheers from all of us here in Australia !!!!
I would have taken all those suitcases
I really thought you would load upset those cases, garage sale... some good stuff actually thanks for sharing
I like the cart on wheels. Can the hose be fixed and used in a garden? @19: you got lots of clothes lines there.@22: you can make a chair with the pallets. The water bottles are good to start plants, like sweet potatoes
حض
That router looks like it stopped routing and became a hammer. Lol
Those are scaffolding poles! That’s good money! Do you ever get moved on by the owners or the police?
That open top with the scaffolding and the shipping supplies was an absolute jackpot!
I’m getting excited all the way over here in the UK 😂
Do you injure yourself regularly? Look after yourself big man!
What’s the best find you’ve ever had?
Thanks in advance for replying to all my questions it’s just so cool 🤙🏻
Those actually were not scaffolding legs or horizontals. I am NCCER+ certified in the scaffold craft and all scaffolding material is modular, and would have some type of connectors that would hold them together and would be noticable on each piece, even if you don't recognize what you are looking at.
You missed the American Flag in the open top !!! Was praying you'd go back and see it 🙏
It's a holiday themed paper bag. Not an entire flag.
Stop crying
It had a lanyard on it??
It's one of them what they used to beat on the cops up in DC. Best leave it if you don't want the FBI on yo ass.
I used to dumpster dive a long time ago but you got me interested again
Nice scores
Man those were some cool boxes, id like to have 2 or 3 of them
You passed that processor when picking up lollipop...
Lovin the vids Mike but not sure why you like picking things up twice
Park that rig up tight
true dumpster diving video nothing to crazy remins me of the good old days
That puppy needed some Doggles.
Ooooow , praise Jesus something good to watch during lockdown in Ireland instead of the crap repeats on tv.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Good of you to reply mike, i watch all your videos, myself and my brother do exactly what you do ,dumpster diving but nothing doing yet as Ireland is in full lockdown from covid-19.
God bless you and i hope have a brilliant week ahead finding scrapity,scrap, scrap, lets get it.
Nice pickup keep having fun keep smiling it makes people wonder what your doing
Nice haul.👏👏👏
We need an “I like Mike... the Scavenger” t shirt

that hose was easily fixable and would of been worth 20x and much as you got for that brass
YES ......The Cat is back !!!!!!
It’s the dumpster that keeps on giving 😎
6:10 forgot the aluminum cans lmfao
Bro, I would have taken those empty cases all day long
Hi eddie oakes...🌝..🤩❤️😍....
Came by to say hello 👋 and thumbs up 👍
That wire on top was waiting for you, Mike!
Yes, I have always found "f" to be very dark indeed! Lol
I thought for a while Dottie was his wife sitting in his truck. lol I just caught on last week it's his truck. :)
Me to
What's a scavenger to do? Dig boy! Dig!
Looks like a nice day for scappy scap yo😊
Чемоданы классные под инструменты
Hi Mike those black cases would make good tool cases and you could get a pretty penny for them you should check out the price of tool cases it might surprise you
Definitely should have taken those cases. People would buy those at a Garage Sale for storage.
Guys love to fit there own foam in them to so they can carry multiple pew pews
What is the price of 11
Ooo vella ato jan te mijat shaka vella zoti zoti zoti zoti zoti bekime super super Super vella
Those empty cases would sell on eBay. Those of us that are shooters, we use the heck out of cases similar to that at the gun range. Ammo horders like those as well.
Empty cases like that we sell for $40 each in rough shape.
Its amazing what you find in the trash
Good job👍
Good Job, Mike .....
1:35 you forgot grams of gold in the processor.
I was thinking "Dang, finding an entire server (that's what it looks like) in a dumpster? Wait! You forgot its processor!"
'grams of gold'
LOL I'm just sitting here thinking that we have all came here to watch a guy pull shit out the trash. Nothing against you Mike the Scavenger. I'm a scrapper scavenger to but damn now we are watching it on youtube. I reckon it's the thrill of the hunt. I was looking at one of your older videos and seen where it said you got busted. Now I haven't watched it yet but I thought once it was thrown in the trash, it's fair game. Why should it matter anyway. We've got a county dump where we have to carry all of our large items to throw it away and man if they would just give me one hour in that dump with an 18 wheeler, there's no telling how much I could get outta there. They have the refrigerators', freezers, washers, dryers and on and on. The old guy that works there is a trip. He gets his pick of the stuff you are throwing away. People throw away these washing machines and these refrigerators not knowing the things you can make just from the electric motors that are in them.
No
Trash is EMINET DOMAIN. Meaning that it is discarded merchandise and fair game.
The thing u thought was a lollipop is a candle on a stick I put mine in the ground outside on a calm day !!! Love your vids
I thought you was gonna sing Offspring I want you bad !!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Should have taken the banding as well and could have sold the whole kit
