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.

9:24 That self healing cutting mat, green with the grid squares under the picture frames is worth going back for. That size is well over $100 new. You could get at least 40 to 50 used.

Seriously! I purchased several of them back in the 90’s, I can’t even imagine what they cost these days (except you just told us. LOL) 🙂

I love it that all this stuff doesn’t end up in a landfill. It is crazy that you can pick up all that real heavy stuff like refrigerators and washers. Keep the videos coming.

What you need is one of those dump trailers. Use the trailer for shred stuff and save the back of Dottie for the good stuff.

At the 7:58 Mark in video, you tossed a Magnalite pot in the scrap, check EBay next time, those heavy aluminum pots are collectable in estate sales, the sets include the basic pot set up but they sell individual pots bigger for stew or hens, I've fried catfish in mine, but if you see them in an estate sale they won't be there long, I still have and cook with the set my grandmother gave me. Estatesales.net is what I use here in Memphis. Great videos you have.

Dude. 10min mark exactly. The neighborhood probably doesn’t know he’s talking to his KZfaq watchers. Indeed he does make comments to the physical refrigerator. I do that myself at home. However, we are apart of a group discussion between our buddy Mike and the heavy ass refrigerator. The homeowner I imagine see him ONLY conversing with the fridge. Not to mention he throws a Karate combo towards the fridge. I found that amusing. Again. Scroll to the 10 min mark and enjoy 😊

Hello! I live here in Brazil, I'm Brazilian and I really like your videos. I also usually recycle some materials to sell. The interesting thing is that here we don't find that much material that apparently can still be working. Here we usually store different appliances at the bottom of the yard, even if they are damaged.

Mike a lot of tables are made with Portugal board and they have a Veneer Wood finish on top. The only way to tell if it is real Oak is if you take out one of the screws you look in the hole you'll be able to tell if it's particle board also. Now I believe the pedestal part may be solid wood. Nice fine though I like it

@jcaudill1972 3 жыл бұрын

Like Dan May said i used to lay the fridge or freezer down and fill it with scrap cuz standing up it just takes up space but knock the handles off, lay it down and fill it with scrap its not so bad. Then with the handles knocked off you can lay another unit on top and do the same
