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!

When you open a dumpster and find that you have stuff in there to get out, why don’t you get your truck closer instead of throwing everything on the ground and having to pick it up again which is double the work?

He does when he sees it's really stuffed, sometimes he doesn't know until he is already in it. Doesn't pay to back up to all of them because he checks so many, probably most are edited out. Most dumpsters only have 2 or 3 items so why back up. Have you seen any videos where he does actually climb out of the dumpster and backup. HOLY SCRAP! Sometimes he fills more than half the truck. 😆

I say this every time! Don't double your work. Not all but most dumpsters he can pull up within a few feet. He does this with curbside appliances too. He'll pull the truck where the appliance is halfway down the bed of the truck. If he would pull up 4 feet it would be right at the tailgate. A guy told me once "work smarter not harder". That has always stuck with me!

13:21 have copper in those plastic shells. Some of those cast aluminium based and body chairs can be by Herman Miller...even broken they are worth $$$. Nice ones can sell for 4 figures. Worth reading the tags on the bottom to make sure you're not scrapping a designer chair.

21:01 Geforce 7600 G Silent was a nice graphics card back in the days, totally silent with no fan :) It had SLi so if you had a SLi mainboard you could with a SLi cable connect two graphics cards and get double the speed. 21:29 A CPU cooler, heatpipes has alcohol in them, it moves the heat faster than bare aluminum or copper does in the older types or heatsinks. If you get them to fit it will be good for brand new CPU's too, but you might have to make DIY brackets and/or add a good copper shim if the modern CPU's are different and slightly bigger for example. But if the wattage of heat it can remove is right and the fan port on the mainboard is right too then it will work, if not the fan can be changed for a modern 4 pin PWM fan to work. You can't damage modern CPU's if you run them with too small heatsink or even with no heatsink at all it will only slow down the speed to nothing to not overheat. Back in the days the CPU's started to smoke and even caught on fire if they had no heatsink. Intel was faster to protect this from happening than AMD. i Think Intel Pentium 4 was the first heat protected CPU. 23:43 This printer or plotter was likely way expencive back in the days and probably still might be worth money if someone get it to run and if the resolution is good. Maybe it did print rolls of wallpaper back in the day.. or perhaps posters for movies on cinemas, i know much about computer stuff but not these ones, i wonder even if it is ink or laser :)

When you find the good heavy duty straps, grab them. They sell great at garage sales. The tie down straps are for semi beds. Remove extra boxes out of your way. Makes it so much easier to find all the buried goodies. Lol Carry a bucket with you into the dumpster, fill it then dump it in the truck. Less boxes. 🤔
