Funny thing is back in the early 80's I worked at a fabric store as a stocker and sweep the floor. I was probably 15 . I remember seeing fabric like that.

You are correct, I did the same . Mike Gave up the right to make over a grand.well if you don't know you don't know.
At minute 19:10, the seat is worth hundreds of dollars, it is a Recaro Rally 3 sports seat from RECARO Automotive GmbH is a German company based in Kirchheim unter Teck near Stuttgart, which is one of the world's leading manufacturers of car seats. The old seats were often used in Opel GT, Manta, VW Golf GTI.

Thank you for showing respect to our American flag brother! I'm so happy you rescued them and showing them the respect they deserve and thank you for knowing the rules of them by not putting them on the floor as well. My grandpa was a WW2 Marine and he would have commended you for that! One of the best youtubers out there! Much love bro. Keep on truckin! And happy Memorial Day weekend! Thank you again for what you did!
I am so happy you took all the fabric. If you don’t want it, donate it. Even if it’s old it’s still useable. I sew so it makes me happy to see you take it. ❤❤❤
Thank you for taking of our flag, it looked old maybe a 48 star. 🙏🏼🇺🇸
oh my God Mike that Recaro seat was worth hundreds if not thousands
You’re the man! No one does it like you Mike, no one! Stay safe 🤟
Love your videos, Mike. Your always finding stuff in the dumpsters. That vintage cloth is something you have never found. Look like some one was cleaning out Grandma's house 🏠🏠🏠❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for saving Grandma's fabric stash. Somebody will be all over that! The flags too.
👍😎🇺🇸 Still Got My MacBook From A Dumpster Working It Didn't Require Fixing, Keep Scraping MIKE 👍😎🇺🇸
It’s so sad to see all that stuff in the dumpster. You know all that was years and years of parents, saving items that they thought were worth saving, they die, and then the kids come and toss everything out. My husband and I talk about that how that’s gonna happen to us when our kids come through our house and just throw away everything. We’re hoping to be smart and get rid of things as the years progress but life happens and we don’t do it like we should. Thanks for saving a few things you saved Mike.
an anchor, that deep. let that sink in Mike
Mike The Scavenger always has a vlog full of energy.
That water standing in the dumpsters that is how mosquitoes breed. Great video as always. You amaze me how you jump in and out of those dumpsters.
Hi Mike 😧 I am SO glad you didn't land your foot on that rake in the first dumpster!
Sometimes, what you do makes me Sad 😔. In these garbage piles, I can see the end of a life or when someone’s evicted…. I know that you do too. 🥺🥺🥺🥺 BTW: That was Huge Old Road Case. Really valuable. The foam often disintegrates after 10 years. You can get replacement foam from the OEM.
@ 10:51 "You can put a baby in there, and you can incubate it...." Hahahahahhahahahhahahahha! You are too much Man. That cracked me up, I had to stop the video...... And uhh, obviously, I hope, don't put your baby in an autoclave.....
Mikey has had w-a-a y too much caffeine today. You go, fella.

That’s like going through my grandmas basement. I found a bread bag that advertised bread for 24 cents.
I think that if I ever live in the USA, I would have to have another house just to store the junk found in the Dumpsters... lol
Love that you saved the flags & fabric!!!
Dude! I'm sitting in my clean basement and I can totally smell what kinda day you're having... Recent rain, mushrooms r coming up, skeeter n juice... What a trip! Rock on!
The vintage fabric is a dream come true to me ❤
And! I know you love those kind of dumpsters too. 👍🥰

What kind
I'd look a bit more carefully in the last dumpster old people that save things are bound to have stashed the cash in some odd place...like paperwork under drawers framed photos. They're also the kind who would put a 20 in a hiding spot in the wallet for emergencies. Love dumpsters like that a true treasure hunt. That was reminiscent of your old dives, love it and thanks for saving the fabrics and above all the flag!
Those orange fade recaros were worth a fortune
Thanks for taking us along.
Yes they are puff balls and very delicious.

Yup those were very delicious puff balls. And an autoclave. Also the mosquito larvae is hatching in the still water. That dryer had some coinage in it by the sounds of it. ♥️♥️♥️🇬🇧🇨🇦
“mating juice” 🤣
Why don't those dumpsters have drain holes ?
Mike I love your video it makes me happy all times you are very happy man when u are on your round picking up scrap.
Nice collection of scraps.
Olá Mike,sou de São Paulo Brasil, admiro muito o seu trabalho, aqui em meu país não temos coisas muito coletáveis más mesmo assim eu quando pego alguma coisa procuro restaurar e coloco a venda, obrigado pelo seus vídeos, abraços no coração de todos aí 🙋🤝🙌🙌🥂🥂🥂🥂
I wonder how many people watching that say omg I threw that in there !!!
Hey Mike those car seats are from a late 70s early 80s Camaro Z28 and they are worth money to people who restore old cameros! Just letting you know! 👍

Those are not puffballs. Puffballs do not have bases or stems. Never eat a wild mushroom until you 100% sure it is edible. Some are poisonous. And some are fatal.

Mike, you should make a pair of 80s parachute pants with the fabric you found. 22:04
Puffball mushrooms. GREAT eating.
That Bride car seat is collectible Mike. $300 worth.
Go Mike!!! 🌞👍
Big Mike, i like to use old boots for planting flowers in them those would've been cool
You threw the cabinet in the truck and said (in the back of old dottie).
That Recaro seat you passed on was worth about 1000 and if you found both 2500.
Hey Mike, Thanks for the videos y ou take time to produce. All of this week til Monday going to rain. I could be first or last for my commute. You ate appreciated How wad Mothers da6 in your family. Be safe and have fun.
About those mosquitos, with all the information out there about reducing standing water so mosquitos can't breed maybe the dumpster companies could drill holes when they make them.

Tell your wife to try Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar body spray. It's the only thing that works for me. I discovered it only 3 years ago after 63 years of bites that made huge red itchy welts that lasted two weeks. The clerks at the store knew about too.😊
THANK YOU, MIKE. ENJOYED THE VIDEO.😎👊🙏PEACE AND GOD BLESS

That boat decking is EXPENSIVE stuff!
You called Betty ....OLD DOTTIE ! We all miss old dottie ! lol
Keep up the good work
Yo-Yo Mike. FYI, those pieces of glass from the store scanner. They are a wonderful use for a sand blasting viewer. I use to replace my glass every few months.(hard to see with all the scratches) but that glass holds up much better. Might be worth a few bucks. Stay scrappy!

@Mike the Scavenger, the AC screens are for Tesla back seats
You called Betty White --- Dotty your old truck. I miss that old pickup. Be Safe Brother.
You was savage, savage today🤣🤣I am highly allergic to skeeters. Spray up and the next day they ooze yellow for a day. Disgusting , but I ain’t giving up fishing. I just spray up and take some Benadryl/ diphenhydramine. I often use Avon body oil, when I can get it. They hate it.
Oh yeah baby!!! Time to dive!!!
