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.

Hey Mike …Please tell us how Dottie got her name! I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Stay safe and happy scrapping

@amandakestenbaum9720 Жыл бұрын

Isn’t Dottie the name of the truck in the film Twister? Always thought it may have come from that but could be wrong. 👍🇬🇧

Love it when scrappers pick up metals from the side of roads . There is so much of it here in new york that people don't care. This is how new york is uncaring. But if your a metal scrapper and need to feed and keep a roof over your head scrapping metal from the highways and roads are the place to pick.

Watching Mike the Scavenger is the best kind of entertainment you can find, such energy when he finds a dumpster or a pile when curbside scavenging. You can't help but to get excited with him. When you climb in and start looking then ask can you see anything else, I can't help but starting to notice stuff and talking hoping that you hear me. Some how you do and find what I was talking about. You're a pleasure to watch.
