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.

I love how organized you are and how quick and efficient your stops are. I watch and follow other scrappers/pickers on YT and they make me so upset with how they say "Oh that's valuable" and then just toss it in their vehicle. You have a system, you're organized, you care about the things you retrieve, and your storage area doesn't resemble a hoarder house! Excellent job Mike! :)

I agree! I've pretty much stopped watching the other scrappers, at least until I get through ALL of Mike's videos. He's spoiled us with his quick assessment of 'scrap, list, garage sale, or donate' decisions, knows how to pack Dottie like a pro, and obviously his sense of humor and kindness are unmatched. 💜 MTS

The batteries likely came out of the apus. I've found a number of tossed apus over the years, and half the time all they needed is for the battery to be removed and given a good hot charge from an external charger to get them working again.

5:40 UPS/Uninterruptible Power Supply . Each one will have a battery. THe wrapped batteries are probably good. You plug a computer and monitor into a UPS and if the power goes off, the battery back-up will keep you going, long enough to save what you're working on and shut it down.
