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!

    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.
