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!

Hi Mike, from Australia. I have said it before and I will say it again, you are the hardest working Scavenger/dumpster diver I have watched ............AND......... the most entertaining one out of the many I have watched on KZfaq. I could watch you all day, you just have a way about you that draws me in every time. I get many giggles watching you and you make my day. I am Always happy to see you score well and see the $ benefits you get from all your hard work. Keep up the great work Mike and be sure to look after yourself at the same time. :) ;)

Hi Mike, looked like one of the smaller boxes had stuff in as well as the big one. A bit of advice, when you have an empty bag and lots of little stuff, use the bag.

You always work hard, Mike, but this time you really worked for your money. There seemed to be so much heavy scrap, but you handled it all! I can't wait to see how much it was all worth! This was one of your best videos, as far as I'm concerned! Keep it up, Mike! We love watching you!

Said it before, keep digging, "you'll find good stuff". The electric motors are an easy tear down. As the Desert punk says, "money, money, money!"
