Dumpster Diving "Look What They Left Us!"
Рет қаралды 182,662
6 ай бұрынHowdy, 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!

If no one else said it the thing at 12:14 that you asked if it was "Matrix" is a portable collapsible stool.. you set it up if you need to sit where there is no place, and then collapse it when ready to get back on your way.

I scrapped my Grandma's old electric scooter. Our scrap yard wouldn't take the motors unless the oil was drained. Well, they didn't have oil in them, but they were packed with grease. Cleaned them out and scrapped them with the rest of the scrap from the scooter. No batteries. They died a long time ago and they couldn't fine replacement. It had some odd ball battery pack that was only used in that specific model.

Hi Mike I always look forward to your videos you make. There's a ice storm heading my way and wishing I was down in the Shelby, NC to escape the extreme weather. Have you ever take apart a microwave ? First off you get these 5" 1/2 thick magnets and then all the number 1 clean copper. Have a safe time out there to you and your family.
