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.

So sorry you had to be the one to find your Buddy. My thoughts and prayers are with you as I am sure this nightmare reoccurs while you are sleeping. I too lost a very good friend to drunk driving and he drowned in a creek. I was still in the Bar when Officers came to tell the Bartender.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Nick, but remember, that he's doing good up there! Also, those little boxes with books are in our country normal. There is a rule that you take a book out of there and you give there a book that you don't need anymore and somebody else can enjoy it you know. It's good :)

I believe that you are a genuinely good person, with a big heart and a caring attitude. Not to mention you're a very entertaining fabricator ... LOL Pott County Legend 💙

Dude, so sorry for the loss of your friend. Remember the good times, as they out number the bad. I too have lost friends under similar circumstances, found a buddy that committed suicide, still bothers me at times, thinking if only I did this or did that. Can't change what others do. My hart and prayers go out to you. Please be careful with the rugs and the like for bed bugs! Awful critters to get rid of. Maybe the reduction gear thingamabobbers were of a discontinued item/model, thus chucked in the dumpster. Keep on keeping on, Mike! Awoooo y'all👊✌👍💪

I stick with my back yard green that helps prevent my seizures. That’s a wonderful thing. Thank you good Lord above for saving me from 4 Spinal Meningitis episodes.
