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!

One of things I like best about your videos is the fact you wear the head light which make your videos much better to watch. This allows you to use both your hands which gives the fastest hands in Texas

17:06 "What are these?" They look like once very expensive(?) Cisco wireless access points to me. Possibly the Aironet 1140 series... If so, they are End of life in terms of support, but they probably work just fine, even after their short flight from the dumpster to the truck.

little song The word sonnet comes from the Italian sonetto, meaning “little song.” The origin makes sense, since the first sonnets were developed by the Italian poet Petrarch. But the sonnet form we are most familiar with today is Shakespearean.

I love how we all look at it and see different things. I would have been going crazy about the fire extinguisher. That was the gem of that load. Clean it up get it recharged and either keep it or sell it and make about 75 bucks on 1 item. When I was scrapping I was always looking for those big items to make all the littles worth it.
