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!

I had to break down a yard windmill and naturally put the metal on the curb for the San Antonio scavengers. A guy stopped and asked if he could take it, which made me smile. Texan Scavengers have great manners!

Santa brings presents once a year while you are sleeping. Santa's cousin Ralph sees you when you are in the shower. Santa Mike finds presents 365 days a year. Every day is a Christmas morning to him. I love riding along to see what he finds. Has anyone else been inspired at least once to go curb or dumpster diving by watching this channel?

I'm always surprised when you don't take good 2x4. I mean they are always useful and can get pretty expensive. I decided to randomly watch you one night, now I'm following you. You make the hard work of salvage look fun. :)

I banked $150 on Fremont on Saturday night here and I only worked about 4 hours selling rings and things. It's back to selling buttons and patches on Sunday night though! You should hit your Downtown or wherever there is tons of walking traffic and sell on the sidewalk like I do,bring a good flashlight!

@joeparmer123 9 ай бұрын

You should take one of those huge tubes like that 1 you found in the dumpster and make a little frame for it and have it where you fill it full of change you find in the dumpster and Then do a video of the progress of You filling it with dumpster CHANGE and Then once. It's completely full and Take it to the bank, then. Tell EVERYONE how much you made. From the 1st day you threw change in there to the last day you topped it off. I think it would be an epic little segment.

Those boxes filled with camping type stuff are most likely from someone who did reenactment things. When you go to those camps everything has to be in "period" boxes and the one with rope handles likely was used to hide a modern day cooler. Excellent finds and easily sellable!!

Admiral turntable and what looked like an AM radio? 25:02 Gramophone parts? Score! Probably doesn't work, but in the old days people repaired them. That one company prayed for the scrap Fairy to come and empty the dumpster and up pulled Dottie. G'bye dump fee!

@robertschwartzman195 9 ай бұрын

That's a antique crank up turntable from the late 1890's and that radio tur table is a nice find. Those cellphone amps is 4G. So many places still use them. They're not scrap.
