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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

My husband works for WM driving a front loader, he says it’s crazy with the stuff people throw out. Need more people like you Mike , keeping the landfills from being filled with unnecessary waste. “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.”

Mike's videos are killer good! The commentary while digging in the trash is like a comedy show. And I think I am learning a thing or two about metals. GREAT JOB MIKE!

Great channel. I just retired a few months ago and came across your channel. I had way to much time on my hands and started doing a little scraping myself partime because of you. I just wanted to say thanks Mike for the knowledge you taught me in starting out. Its also has help out financially for my wife & i Thanks again Mike, keep up the great work & hard work. I thinks you helping a lot of people in many way, remember also keep it real so the little guys can always relate to you. From the old man & newly young scrapper.

When I see Mike dig thru a dumpster, I understand the meaning of rip-snort!

If the fan in your truck isn't blowing as hard as it used to, make sure it doesn't have a cabin air filter. If it does, it might just need changed.

I caught that little "you wish" gesture....laughing! When I saw you focus on the big box with all the stuff in it, I just knew what was to happen. I had to laugh.

@BFVgnr Жыл бұрын

The blue box at 16:18 is from an online knife store called Blade HQ. I recognized it from past purchases. Apparently their packing peanuts are organic, because I've seen some knife review channels where their pets will take them out of the boxes during reviews.
