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!

I found a little over $2,000 in gold teeth in a bag in the dumpster that was with a whole bunch of old dentist tools and drills from the 60s and 70s from Cal State University...Everything from 14k,16k,18k,22k and 24k! I can definitely agree with you on the fact that dumpster diving pays wayyyyyy too well to not do it! Keep the videos coming big dawg!

Strange you found 22k and 24k teeth. I have never heard of a gold that high purity used because of it being to soft. Most common is 16k but 14k to 18k is not unheard of. Same reason Jewlers don't generally put expensive stones in gold higher then 20k.

Pro tip to wash legos... Put them into a mesh laundry bag (like for delicates) and then put them on the top rack of the dishwasher to wash. Don't use the drying cycle, but take the bag outside and swing it in a circle to get most of the water out. Lay them on a towel to finish drying.

We had a huge thrift store around here (long gone now), but this place was the size of a supermarket, I remember my father buying some stuff one time when I was about 12, he brings the stuff home and finds a bill in the pocket, I overheard him telling people about this, and being obsessed with money as a kid, I figured "I'm gonna go check this out", So a day or so later I walk over there, and go up and down these long rows of clothing racks, checking every single pocket on the pants, and then a day later, on all the jackets, and scored over $300 bucks, I went home and stuck it in my room somewhere and didnt say anything at the time, and a day or so later I come back from school and here he is, looking pissed like I did something, I went "whats the matter", and he flashes this wad of bills and goes "Where the hell did this come from >:o ?" as if he had just caught me red handed in the middle of some illicit scam or something, I mentioned overhearing his convo and told him where it came from, and then like the typical ass he was, he says "well good, I'm holding onto it until you need it because you're not using it to go buying a shitload of candy or anything like that which you dont need"... needless to say a short while later when I was about to go to my grandmothers for the weekend (his mother), I told her in advance that he was scoffing my $ and wasnt gonna give it back, and that I wanted it for some fishing equipment I wanted to grab this weekend, and when she came to pick me up, she went inside and made him hand it over and I got it back from her when we left !

In some cases, folks would buy up whole rolls of quarters, dimes, etc, to see if any pre 65 coins wound up mixed in with the current mintings.

The way only certain coins were in the small coin bags says those were being protected which means they are quite possibly minting ERROR COINS which can be worth A LOT so research and CLOSELY examine EACH OF THEM in those bags before just spending them.

You can also use a 2X4 about 8' long. One end on the ground and the other end on the tailgate, Make a ramp out of it a slide the AC unit up the board. This way you dont have to pick anything up. All the weight is on the 2X4...

I think they even made a movie about a map showing buried cans in the barn. I'm an old timer and can't remember title 😀. Get crawling, those other cans may be close.

I just got back from dumpster diving. Some lady with trump stickers all over her car, started hassling me and I was gathering wire and copper pipe out of a dumpster. She called the police on me. The cops showed up, she made such a spectacle, he cuffed her, towed her car and took her away after she got unruly with me and the cop. The cop checked out my little score and asked me if I did any good today. lol
