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.

They 4:15 are the three wise men, Xmas decorations. The arms are holding a treasure box, two of the statues seem to be missing the arm part. 19:03 they look like old lobby lights to an elevator. You know, going up and going down indicators. The white plastic round parts are lens covers. One of each set should have a red filter for the down indicator. And I saw that they've just painted the lamp red, not using a red filter.

My daughter came down to talk with me about the time in the video where you were saying "gotta keep it soft....softy soft soft" along with the little squeeze action. She wanted to know what the HELL I was watching. Took her about 5-6 minutes to determine I was not watching something kinky.... 🤣 Oh, and my parrot now has "what is that?" as part of her vocab....

I do the same thing. I love delving into construction/remodel dumpsters. so much salvaged electrical stuff. I carry a couple of screwdrivers and pliers with me to free desirables from undesirables.
