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.

Looks like the pieces from a boutique with all of those metal racks, baskets, tables. That was so much fun to watch

Good evening Mike from Ireland. That arty dumpster just kept giving & giving. I reckon those metal tables were used with under glass lighting for display. Those old metal signs would probably fetch a few bucks. People love them. You definitely had a fantastic dumpster diving night. 🥰

@jasonmitchell4807 Жыл бұрын

Mike, you have got to start pulling your truck right up next to those long dumpsters before you even get out of the truck. Time is money and you"re wasting so much time by doing everything twice. You rock bro, keep up the good work!
