Dumpster Diving "Down In Me Timbers!"
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!

"That doesn't look good....LETS CHECK IT OUT!!" My hero
Who thinks Mike should do a contest, and the winner gets to go hunt scrappity scrap scraps with Mike and Betty White? I’d pay to enter that contest. Love the videos. They make my day!😊

Indeed.
That hand truck (dolly) new is probably worth $200.00. It looks like it had hardly been used. As you said, Mike: "Good score!" 👍
Once again, another awesome night with Mike. Thanks for taking us along.
Hi Mike, Just so you know, crafters who do bead work would love the specimen bottles, jars, tubes for their bead storage. Love the channel, keep diggin' deep my friend.
HEY MIKE!!! Just wanted to let you know that doctors without borders will take expired medical stuff and be super happy to have it. You can donate all kinds of medical equipment for the less fortunate. Just saying
Diclophenac sells over the counter as Voltaren. Expensive. Great pain reliever, used to be Rx but not any more

I use it twice a day, but no more than 20 total grams a day. Use the measurements device that comes in the box.
Awesome Video. You're the Number One Scraper on KZread. Be Safe, Have a Wonderful Day 😊😊😊😊😊
Fantasztikus video ,köszi Mike!
I know what that giggle meant when you found the big ass syringes... Lol
"I can't find the phone!"😂
Good haul Mike, hit my local Walmart lastnight they have a roll off full of parking lot lights and industrial lighting fixtures loaded in there mixed with trash heading for the local landfill. Going back tonight to load up crazy what people will throw away
I love how you scrap dude. Maximum effort, take it all, leave nothing unchecked and have a good time while you're at it. Makes for awesome content too! Keep it up brother!
Another great shift in the urban jungle
25:05 If those are unused, they are handy in the shop. Good for measuring out liquids, flushing out tubing, and adding water to car batteries. I even made a mini grease gun from one.
Before watching I leave my like.
Good evening Mike. Another great haul tonight. Please be careful jumping into or putting your hands in some of those dumpsters...you never know if there are used needles in some of them. Stay safe & have a great weekend. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪🍀

Those tubes can be cleaned and repurposed for plant root cuttings where you grow roots on cuttings in liquid media.
That diclofenac gel is great stuff. It's a topical ointment for pain in joints.
Those telephone handsets are scrappable. They usually have a steel bar running through them as well as a speaker and microphone and a little bit of wire.
That topical gel is awesome. If you’re aching, rub it on your skin it is good for muscle pain and arthritis.

Happy leap out of a dumpster day😂😅😊😮😮😮
Crazy. Sitting in central Bangkok, drinking a Thai coffee and watching scrappy scrap scrap…
Mike, the diclofenac sodium gel is Voltaren... useful for pain, and somewhat expensive.

Hey Mike. We love your channel and we’ve been following for years. If I had to ask you one question it would be “have you ever been in a dumpster and someone dumped something on top of you?”
That moment when he stood at the car door, with a piece of iron pipe in his hands, some voice in me said: Just do it!

Rarely do you ever do your scrap runs! Is it because that’s what most of us love?
One of my favourite people magic mike in the house cleaning out
Can’t believe someone threw that like new dolly, I sure could use that.
Mike the dumpster diving king, keep doing you man. Hey if you ever come across anymore of the NEW yellow straps like you did awhile back, take all of them and hit me up as i will purchase them all from you. That dumpster was full. Keep up the great work your doing. 😊😊😊😊😊
Thanks again for the ride along Mike ✌
we old crafter types would have nabbed the specimen bottles. Beads and findings don't care it they're out of code. The old x-rays did contain silver. No idea if the ones Mike scored do.
Thanks Mike! I'm sure I speak for most of us when I say It was a fun! Keep it rolling. We're lovin' it. Thanks again for taking us along! I had many years as a "Diver" and I'm still amazed at some of your hauls.
Another great finds, Cousin Mikey!
LOVE the Dumpsters!!!!❤️
Well Mike, at the beginning of the video you were a Strapping young man, then you got Hosed, then you Shredded it and were Dashing whilst going about it and then made em Squeal like a pig while waxing Poetic at the end😅🤣😂. You are so many things to so many people😁. Thanks for the vidjas. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
MTS in his element. Same format since he's been on YT. Don't change it!
Спасибо, радуешь новыми видео 👍👍👍
We need a follow up on the Xray film.
About the film and silver. Film has a silver coating but you would need to process the film and the liquid would have the silver that comes off during processing. You would need a silver recovery machine to separate the silver from the rest of the stuff. It takes a lot of film to get enough silver.
Like watching MTS 💪 channel because he's going to dive into the dumpster with little to no hesitation . Keep doing the thing 😄
Grand master Mike❤.
Great way to start my Friday morning 😁. Thanks Mike. Hope you're well

The dramatic pause was EPIC 😮
Lots of great stuff Mike. So much fun, love your rhymes. Your like greased lighting grabbing all that stuff. Thanks mike.😊😊😊
They are taking the piss putting those specimen vials in there.😂
@12:40. That was for a frozen drink machine . The housing and auger . The motors are the ones that make the auger go around the barrel that’s freezing the liquid . New a double unit Bunn commercial frozen drink machine is $1,800 I bought one two years ago for big party’s in the summer.
I've had road rash, grass rash, rug rash, and tree rash...OUCH!!!! 🍻

Those pieces that are from a roof are lead pans used to seal the flanges so they don't leak Mike. The lead is worth a few pounds separate it from the metal and get more for it.

YES! We have a recycling pickup enterprise and we made a KILLING from old x-rays one year. Definitely worth exploring!
Keep up the good work Mike
Hey mike, i am a Houston native. Check out down near Webster, clear lake, nassau bay, league city, and Pasadena, and friendswood. ITS SCRAP HEAVEN!!!!! I think you xan make more $ if you go down there. Much love from Friendswood!
2 videos in week days ,❤ it!
Scrappity scrap! Good day Mike!❤❤❤
The piece of aluminum at 28:47 is a roof drain that seals to the inside of a pipe with the rubber compression at the bottom. And the others are cast roof drains.
HELLO IM IN THE DUMPSTER AT THE MOMENT
I just bought a hook like that. Can't wait to dig through dumpsters and use it. I have many pieces of titanium in my neck and back.

Здарова чувак! Выпускай видео по чаще очень нравиться... Привет с России...
25:04 - "Wow.... hmhmhmhmmmm..." That´s funny!
That thing spins and out comes the dumpster juice.... Theres another bonus of led's to manufacture- they don't need ballasts. Any luck they still work. Just a scrape with a knife will tell you if the wire in those motors are copper or ally. If copper, don't miss an opportunity to strip it out.
That was fun!.👍👍👍💯
Should have taken the "man", he would have been cool to dude up. The best laughter medicine there is, that's MTS.😊❤
Get it Mike!
Love it Mike keep it up get it all bro get it all
Another great adventure.👍😜
Hey Ray! Those large syringes are very handy in a garage for flushing out items!
You sure do find the most interesting metal!
In the dumpster where you found car parts, the mirror and grey rectangular piece that had vents and climate controls on it go to a ‘05-‘10 Scion tc, I own an ‘06 of that car so they were very recognizable to me
Those 60cc Syringes can come in very handy for lots of uses. I used to use them for Hand Feeding Baby Parrots. There was a ton of them in that box, can't believe you didnt grab them. And the Buckets of Wipes.
Thank you ❤
Cool like starch 😂😂😂 I'm so dead! Thank you Mike!
Great video Mike thanks for sharing 😀🇨🇦
Yes Sir!!!
Mike you always find the good stuff buddy They wont let me dive in dumpster around my place cops hound me like a woof woof
I laughed so much watching this video 😂
