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.

No kidding, right? I'm sitting here watching this after having watched a few others and I'm thinking "you know, he's actually doing the world a hell of a service by saving as much of these materials as possible that would otherwise be taking up space in a landfill doing no one any favors." The guy deserves the praise he receives. I only wish that more people would turn to doing this with their free time.

Yesterday I watched a video of yours, the one where you find that large load of ballasts and then went out to do my own route and wouldn't you know it - I go on to find the largest pile of ballasts; it took me two trips, filled each time and all I could think of was, Mike would dig this! That and ballasts are paying .23 lb.

Seen you on TikTok. Just found your KZfaq channel, and blew two hours just watching scavenging. I always have a "scrounge mode" running when I am out walking around where I live. I have grabbed some great stuff out of the trash over the years that would have ended up in an incinerator including tools and stuff for my kitchen.
