Curbside Scavenging (I Found A Motorcycle!!!)
Ойын-сауық
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.

Great video again Mike. ❤️❤️❤️
Those ceiling fan motors are loaded with copper! Keep up the videos, love them !

Mike that is awesome meet and greet the people your getting scrap from so the next time they'll know to keep the scrap for you awesome sauce lol 🤣
You are always so kind and patient with people 💖
You are such a nice man. Besides the fact that your videos are so entertaining, you take the time to talk to all these people, even attempt Spanish... I love it. You give Texas a good name!
Love to see you getting that bike going Mike good luck with it all the best Cameron from Kenilworth England
That was a great curbside today ! Lot's of Peep's coming from Cali now. I made the move over 30 years ago and so glad I did! Much love from Louisiana!

Yeah, California is pricing their rents and sales of homes. I've watched several homeless documentaries and it seems like 1/3 of them are classified homeless because they are living in their cars, yet they have 40 hour work weeks. One lady was married, they got divorced, no kids, etc. She's a caregiver yet can't afford California rents. Hey, no problem, Texas and Oklahoma will take them. Our states are always hiring somewhere. 😃
I always like watching your videos man.. Keep putting them out!
Mike Mike Mike. You kill me man. You are so funny and yet you are so down to earth. Love watching you buddy and keep up the good work. Scrappy Scrappy Scrap 😀👍
Just started watching your videos, your awesome in what your doing, I'm binge watching all of your videos. I watched the one where you couldn't get the scale out of dumpster, that probably ate at you for awhile, didn't it? Love all your saying, watch your head, watch your head, is definitely my favorite, keep up the fight Mike, PEACE BROTHER. I also think it's funny when you get the stick & say your not getting in the dumpster & we all know your jumping in there.

Amazes me how quick you get filled up some days!! Happy scrapping Mike!
That’s a Great haul Mike. I’m so happy for you. You got some really nice things. That rocker is Gorgeous it just needs some rust paint and you could keep it or sell it for a $100.00 or more. That little table with the glass top and bottom is truly beautiful as well. Well it’s been a Blast as usual. Take care until the next time. ♥️♥️🌈🌈🇨🇦🙏

Hopefully he put the glass inside with him before he started tossing in metal. Of course he's learned the hard way about glass in the back of his truck.🙃😉😃
Great haul! love your videos Mike, you're an inspirational scrapper!
Mike, Your Great... Love How At The End Your Parked In The Red No Parking Zone.😊
I picked up a dryer this morning and it payed out like a slot machine just loading it. got about 4 bucks in change just loading it. sounded like alot more unloading it so I am ready to take that one apart for sure. dont know why the people at the house did not notice all the change. there was several coins under it when I moved it. So keep throwing that money away folks. us scrappers will gladly take it for ya.
Great adventure video. You work so hard.
I used to grab exterior house paint mostly,sometimes interior house paint and sometimes spray paint! I went into painting addresses on the curbs of Houses. I did it here in Vegas when I first moved out here too.
Looking forward to seeing a video of you riding the mini bike
your videos are always a great way to end the work day, thanks for the entertainment.
Hi Mike I’ve watched you for years now and I have never seen or heard you bad mouth or disrespect anyone and that includes subscribers. You are what they call a true gentleman. Thank you mike.
The best thing to do if you have truck and plenty of time to do. Bravo for you very productive man.👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🙏
I kept thinking... welcome them to TX... then you said it! Bravo! Oowww! 👏
Another good day scrapping. Nice one 🦝
More yapping than scraping today,but you done well with the scrap
Mikey-I either misheard or you misspoke when you said a common 40 or 50 gallon residential water heater can be scrapped for $50 or 60. They are all steel except for bit of copper and brass fittings.
