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.

Oh man Mike I can't believe you left all the other Dog pics that was money for sure right there. I'm guess $30-$40 a pic. I was ephemera auction alot, and old pet pics go for good money and those were huge. I'm sad, but not mad at ya Mike. Save the doggies if you can go back.! Love em.

Mike, if you decide to donate the gloves and goggles, I bet there would be a technical/alternative school that would love those for their students to use.

Hi Mike and Laura I was hoping the cold weather wasn't near you. My brother in Austin says he's cold but he remember what winters are like upstate NY. Our temperature has been negative and will be double digits - 40 or colder tonight. I like the lights you found in that dumpster. They are quite unique and be sold I'm a high price lighting store. Stay warm and do a PSA about bringing animals in due to extremely fridged weather.

Magic Mike the Scavenger version 3 with that slippy-slide-y zipper! When my son was just a little bud and forgot to zip up his pants, we had a secret code. I would say "XYZ" to him on the down low, which means "Examine Your Zipper" so he would know, without embarrassing him in front of his friends. Worked good...

@@lanna7917 how much extra time do you people think he has? If you want to keep something, make sure it doesn’t end up in the trash. That and how hot is the market for used mop buckets? You realize he has to hold onto everything he is trying to sell right? So three big mop buckets will be sitting around his place, in the way and being ugly until someone (maybe) decides he wants to search for used mop buckets for sale (probably something zero people search for) then he can get rid of that sh**. When you do this often you find these kinds of things all the time. So if he did what toy backseat dumpster divers said he would live in filth and his wife would probably leave him. Because hoarders are some of the worst people you will ever have to deal with/live around. He jumps on the “Pennies a pound” scrap because he can turn it into cash daily and not have a cluttered, gross mess at home.
