Dumpster Diving "Comin' Home With Some Spaceship Stuff"
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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

I dont know how the youtube algorithm brought me to your channel, because i've never watched a scrap/picker video before. With that said, this channel has become one of my absolute favorites over the last six months or so. The commentary is straight up gold, reminds me of a old friend I worked with ages ago.

Agreed lol, I have no idea how this ended up in front of me but I've been following for about 6 months now, Mike is hilarious and loves what he does . Even have my 4yr old sitting with me following along. She loves all the little noise he makes and all the voices he does lol.

Same...he's awesome 👌
Can't believe the brand new things people throw out. That fan was quite the find! Also it looks like those trapeze lifts for patients go anywhere from $100 to 180. Good finds!

@@irmahernandez6016 I guess we need to start checking dumpsters for reasonably priced medical equipment. 😠 Good luck on your search Irma. 🤗

It is cheaper to chuck it out then keep it in inventory.
That big blue fan is beautiful, in an industrial-chic way. If you can't sell it you can make it into a super fine $$$$ coffee table. I watch your scavenging every day for finds like this and your joy of the hunt. ;D

I was thinking shop fan. Definitely would keep you cool on a Texas summer.
Mike, every dumpster event makes me smile. You energy to salvage things just rocks me, I love it.
Those ski poles were aluminium (spelt the correct way). Plastic would snap in the cold

Graphite won't.
a big FAN....of mike
I so enjoy watching you scrape I watch some that dont know really how to scrape.
I’m glad to see Mike doing more Return on Investment analyses to decide whether he wants to expend time and energy going after an item. Mike is extremely intelligent and I enjoy his channel.
Best scrapper I've ever seen on KZread!
Afternoon Mike. Your video made my day. I love Your videos. They always make me smile. And I love it when you say watch yo head. Good stuff.

Mike that's your biggest # 1 FAN ! LOL
Good Afternoon My Good Bro Mike The Scavenger
Good to wake up at 4am to your video here in Australia
My brother is an electrician, he brought two big fans off a job. We built big boxes to mount the fans in, then we put casters on them and wire over the open sides. We could roll them around to where we were working. They not only blow great, but the bugs can’t even land on you. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅

aquele ventilador azul industrial deve ser de algum aviário de aves ou granja...
That long thing with the yellow handle sorta looks like awater key. To turn the water on and off at the meter.
Lol 😂 I remember when you stepped in the can of paint! At least you got that paint off quickly off your boots 🥾
Wow Mike that fan is awesome
Damn it boy! That blue was gold!
Those file cabinets make great smokers.
Sticks were someone's solution to keep the lights seperated/untangled 😁
Nice big blue fan! Something tells me that any farmer or garage owner would love to get a deal on that thing.
Mike probably your biggest KZread fan yet
Well I'm a BIG FAN of Mike the scavenger.
Nice score with the fans
Mike was wondering about the weather you received as long as it wasn't snow. Hope the pups are doing well. That T handle item is to open the lock on a tractor and remove the trailer. That b one big exhaust fan. The fan is $$$$. Easy sell.
Wow what a score mike ..beautiful big blue fan..looks like suppose to fit in ceiling of commercial plant to cool off place maybe???idk ..awesome ..use imagination ..looks like a heavy ...darn thing...all your diving pays off for sure !!!
Watching you is addictive
Smooth move, Mike, tossing that right over the back of the truck.
👷👷thanks for sharing👷♂👷♂
Your new fan for the garage
Spring Cleaning is coming. I'm ready. YEAH!!!
Thats a nice fan!!!!!
Filing cabinets make excellent barbecue smokers bottom tray for the coals, middle tray for the right above the coals you can put the wood chips drill a couple of holes, the other drawers you can put racks for meat !
It was fun.
Wow !!! Big score on that fan!!!
oooh, its so BLUE!
A wow! Now that’s a pallet!!! U should keep makes chair or table for your garden area!!!!
I could see that fan in your garage , itll def help with those Texas summers.
Great fan for the SPACESHIP!!!!!

Gud day sir Mike why am so addicted to your videos I watch when I woke up in the morning till midnight coz also watch ur old videos
Great haul.

Mike the big fan you can sell as big intake or exhaust fan for commercial use or large garage or machine shed depending on the voltage. The 2 drawer filing cabinet on wheels you can use in your garage for power tools.
Hey Mike, I think you found your biggest fan. Keep at it brother.
That fan is sweet !! Awesome job !
That Blue Fan is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE
Damn Mike! That is some crazy stuff!!
MIKE!!?? YOU ARE ONE STRONG LIL HANDY MAN!! WOW! I'm like he's not be able to take that fan out? That too tucked in ! And here you are done it!! Man!! Lol😂 I love watching your videos 🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍
My Lord your in it for sure, don't get sucked down scavenger hunt. Lol stay safe stay blessed stay amazing 👏
Mike, you are the CHAMPION!! lord of the BIG BLUE FANS!! What an awesome video!!
That was some workout. You should put the bed pull up brackets on The Dottster and fix winches to them? Keep the videos coming Mike.
I love your videos! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Mike, that long piece you found at 17:12 is part of a ups.(uninterrupted power supply) the batteries you found shortly thereafter usually fit in that sleeve. I found one in an office open top a couple months ago. It had 80lbs of batteries in it.
Hook that fan up in your garage Mike, bet you will stay cool all summer long!
I am laughing so much it hurts. The spray can getting your boot then you jumping out almost getting knackered OMG Mike 🤣🤣 absolutely hilarious
Love Love love that huge Fan!!!!! Crushed it on the curb and topped her off with the dumpsters. Looking forward to the whole recap!

✌😁😁😁 I'm so glad you watch Mike too😁😁😁💪💪 I thought of you as soon as I saw that fan bro,I just asked you if you had seen this video in comments on someone else's video too😲😁😁🤣🤣💪💪💪💪💕💕
DANG! Now that's a fan!!!!!!
Amazing scrap finds today good job very hard work
You should grab all those spray paint cans. They make great range targets and once you blow holes in them you can scrap em!
I want to see that fan work . That thing with a box around it and some mesh in front of it would really keep the garage cool . So come on Mike test it.
No one packs a truck like Mike.
Nice load Mike!👏👏👏👍
awesome night, hopefully that fan works!
You make my day begin with a smill great from the netherlands 🇳🇱🙏❤
Brilliant you make my day 😀
Thanks Mike.
Love your videos 😅. That's crazy about the fan. God bless you and be safe 😊
that big blue fan looked brand new
Use the big Blue Fan to turn Dotty into a Hover Truck.
You should install that blue fan in your garage. That thing will move some air! Look at the pitch on those blades!
Mike get a crab pot puller and mount on the side of the bed on your truck! even a manual crank one would save your back!!!!!!
Great video Mike, Hope You find ten tons of copper in the next dumpster !
I got one of those fans once the guy told me it was off a industrial refrigeration unit. I needed special sockets to get the motor seperated off the fan blades
Martian blue giant fan, definitely spaceship stuff🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant video again bud , totally makes my day every video , keep it up 👍
13:06 I think you saw you life flash before your eyes 👀 lol 😂
Great video keep it up glad I stumbled onto your channel. I am currently watching all your older stuff .cheers
Looks like a big old exhaust fan
Mike the fan is called in industrial fan that’s the one that sits in the wall of the arm shed to keep it cool it just hasn’t got the other side or if not it’s in the box underneath the plastic
Hey Mike, the blue fan could bring you some good cash. Or, you could install it in your garage for those hot days when your working in the garage. Take care and be safe.

Yeah... Could be a great exhaust fan for the garage or attic.
Great digs
The blue and yellow hook is a 5th wheel puller for tractor trailers
I want the crate!!! 🥰😍
that blue hook is a 5th wheel hook for a semi to help unhook the trailer from the truck
One side wood gorgeous for table
Long time scrapper here gotta say I have never seen fiberglass ski poles only aluminum so might want to make sure next time.
I could be totally wrong but that fan kinda looks like an attic fan . The hoyer lifts could be good med donation pieces if complete the ones I used 30 yrs ago had wheels .
The lights were on sticks so they don't get tangled.🎄
Great one watching Mike birth the big blue fan
Nice staff your find. I like video.
Great stuff great video
Great video mike. I really enjoyed this one.
I like your new routine, street then dumpsters and we get a little more time to watch!!❣️ Drive medical stuff is very nice and expensive!!!
The big seals could be a conversation piece
The Christmas lights were wrapped around sticks to keep them from getting all tangled up. Holy ironies, Batman. They were nice and neat for the dumpster. Go figure.
What up Mike oh wait scrap lol 😆
