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.

Mike, a bit of advice... whenever you find items (poster, magazine, sticker, toys, etc... there's a massive variety of them) game related, pick them and once you get home eBay/Google search them...90% of them sell well...that Borderlands cover currently sells for 18$ on eBay...here is a example also of a game...Skies of Arcadia ( Game Cube/ Dreamcast ) can go up to 400$+ depending of its condition

The 8 on the dumpster means the yard size. That’s an 8 yard dumpster. Seen a few 6 yard dumpsters in your videos too. But the numbers mean the size. Many companies have 1-8 yard dumpster options. Some offer 10 yard dumpsters and those are HUGE!
