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.

missed blue container full of wire in open top where you got all the scrap containers

It's funny, I sometimes finding myself leaning in closer to the screen to see if that was scrap under that box, like I could get a better angle. Waiting for scrapping by VR.

Mike that rolling cart is a hoyer lift for lifting people that can't walk, the base(feet) open and close. to open all the way keeps them stabilized by the weight of the patients so the hoyer doesn't tip over, most usually done over bed, tub or chairs.

Absolutely correct. I have the exact item sitting here in my house right now for my husband.

That Lincoln Electric Arc sensor is an automatic sensor for welding fume extractors. It starts the extractor fan as soon as it sees you start welding....... FYI they are about $1500....... Oh, and that first electrical box you couldn't remember the name of? Its a Variable Frequency Drive unit.... or VFD, or sometimes called a VSD where the S stands for speed instead of frequency.

Got an idea for a new tool; take an old steel head garden rake and weld one or two small sized speaker magnets on the opposite side of the head ( away from the handle) so you can pull it through the piles of scrap in a container, so you don't have to pick through every little snipit and such. Good luck 🤞

You many times pick up breakers. It is fairly easy to scrap them up on your own. They contain decent silver, aside of brass/copper inside. Contact points inside are made of silver. If you accumulate the pile of them, you can scrap&sell those for very decent money. Silver is selling easy.
