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!

Mike …my dad would love your channel…he had a trash route in rural Maine…he had his own truck and customers. He went to the dump one day in the 70s and found hundreds of machines from a defunct factory..each machine hand several hundred pounds of brass…he got enough money to buy a house and 5 acres…those were the days

Hey Mike, You didn't do it at the end. That's the best part of the scrap run. When you do your air guitar. Gives me a little giggle when you do that. Love your channel and videos. Take care and be safe.

That thing there were a cable guide for rack mounted servers, so that you can slide the server (on rails) out without risking any cables (such as power) coming loose. However nobody really use them because they restrict airflow through the server too much.

Mike, you are a very naught boy, smashing that mirror could have been very dangerous for you, if a piece flew up and hit you and you could have bleed to death. Don't ever do that again. We love you and your scrapping to much. ❤

Those round BBQ pits - we use them for fall fire pit. Load up with some firewood, kick back and enjoy a little evening fire. When done, put the lid on, all safe. When they get too ratty just pitch in trash and pick another curbside😊
