congrats on almost 500k! theres at least one viewer that brings stuff to the scrapyard i work at. he told me he learned to do it from you, its a scrap revolution you're leading. he asked if i watch you and i lifted up my sweatshirt to reveal a MTS shirt underneath :)

Happy 70th Mike. Great you can still get around so well!

WOW, you certainly don't act like you are 70.

Thanks for the shout out to John Denver, sure do miss his music. "West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads"......

When you watch Mike, its like going to school, you learn the different metals, copper, brass , stainless, aluminum, extruded aluminum, you learn how to stack stuff in the truck especially on the curbside scavenging, and you get your exercise by jumping into and out of dumpsters, climbing up and down open-tops .

Yep, 60/61, 60/62, extruded, copper, red copper, yellow copper, bare bright, brass, #1 wire, #2 wire & on and on. I never knew they had so many ways of grading copper, aluminum or any metal for that matter. I always knew of the different metals & could tell them apart but I never knew that it was graded. NEVER! He's fun to watch & schools you at the same time! I wish school was this much fun when I was a kid! I would have loved to go dumpster diving when I was a kid in school. I would've wanted to go every day, heck 7 days a week! LOL! 😍😆😍 Throw some yard sales, estate sales, flea markets, thrift stores, auctions, storage units, etc 😍😍😍 WOW! It would've been a dream life for me! I know it wouldn't of been that for everybody but I know there would be enough of us to have a school or 2 in every school district. They still don't teach kids stuff that will really help them in the real world. They should have that starting in 7th or 9th grade now. Construction, mechanics, electrical, plumbing, arts, etc. Teach the basics, reading, writing, arithmetic in elementary, maybe from kindergarten up to 6th grade or even up to 8th grade. By high school they should've learned everything they need to know by then. High school should be like a trade school only. If they taught kids how they should be (like they do in other countries) they would be ready for the real world in the basics. If they don't want to go into any of those fields they could have the option to stay in regular school & learn what THEY are interested in. That's just my opinion but I sure wish they would do that these days. When people are doing something that they really love, it's not work, it's a passion. It makes getting up every morning a lot easier & fun. You look forward to the day & life itself. There are folks who love tinkering with computers or programs, some who love sports & others are like us that love scrapping and/or buying & selling things from storage units, thrift stores, yard sales, flea markets, etc. Wouldn't life be so much nicer & people would be happy (most days) hmmmmm (exhaling)😊😍😊

You’re either turning 40 or 50 and with the energy of a rambunctious child!😂 I love it.

Nice Computer finds! Great video!

Mike from a fellow Texan, thanks for keeping so much metal and such out of the landfill.

Mike, your banter is what makes the channel. You always make me smile, bro.

Sticks and pipes, a little John Denver & zombie walking! This STUD makes dumpster diving fun! Another great night ending with the view from atop to see all that was collected👏🤘👏

Aw yeah, Mike's Down With the Stickness 😂 Dude, I love the ceiling fan, blade breaking sound effects! I still love this channel as much as I did when I 1st subscribed. Rock on Mike! 🤘

I like the fact that you are grateful for the little stuff and keep taking it, but its better when we see you get the bigger stuff too. Mind yourself jumping in and out.

I like it when Mike throws those sticks because I get to hear "Styx", lol

Congratulations Mike 🎉😂 🎈

Just want to send Mike the scavenger a thank you for putting out good quality of content on

WOOHOO!!! 500,000, way to go!!! Onward to 1 million! Another great video Mike. I'm guessing the big 50! I know it was epic when I hit 50 a few years ago.....now I'm knocking on 70!

Hey Mike, Glad you're back on your feet and jumping in and out of the dumpsters. Best of health to you, your wife and the pooches. Love your channel and videos. Take care and be safe.

So much energy! Great finds! Glad you're feeling better.

Love watching you!! So glad youve healed from your surgery!!

New sub here...and getting oddly excited each time more scrap metal is found. Great job Mike.👍👍

Hey Mike, The TV i'm using now was sitting beside the dumpster when I took my trash out one day. They even left the remote next to it. It has some lines at the the top and bottom of the display but is still watchable. Good look with yours.

You’re awesome Mike! That could be a game show- can you catch all the song, movie & other references in Mike’s vids? I can! And they keep me giggling. Thnx 👍🏻

@@johndaley9188 That’s funny. I don’t know what most of the stuff he finds is- I do now from watching. But I’m an Amazon & eBay reseller so when he finds clean bubble wrap, boxes & air pillows, I want grab them all. That stuff’s expensive! LoL I’m a teenager of the 80s, my favorite decade so his references are right up my ally 😊

Now, that's entertainment!

It's just a number, it just shows how long you have been here.

I once found 4 metal shelves like that but only taller and all 4 were joined together! I ended up using them for my Back Yard Sales in Phoenix,ARIZONA. Those days are gone

By far the best scrapper on KZread fantastic videos keep it up Mike

Hey Mike just wanted to say thank you for yours videos they got me to try scrapping on my off time. I started a year ago this week and have made an extra 30,000 dollars over that time so thank you for the inspiration

Awesome video nice haul Mike thanks for sharing

Excellent find on the poters thanks for sharing six Stars

Hey Mike, happy birthday!! Hey when do we get to hear your wife singin sgain? Thanks for all the adventures ive been subscribed since you had 500. Come a long way my friend and i still look forward to every new video!!

Another great vid here Mike, some good finds.

The fitting in the top of fire extinguishers is usually brass, so if you make sure it’s completely depressurised/empty it’s worth taking them off

Awesome haul! Especially all those computers!

I’ll see you this for your mike You got some cool dumpsters to be diving into always coming up with good stuff

Man do I love dumpster PCs best finds ever for me

Magic Mike making a killing again! Awesome run brother!

Thank you Mike for sharing your amazing

Great score on the puthers, well done

awesomeness ... and a follow-up 😁👍

Like I said last year, going for 800k subs for 2023! As always Mike great video and thanks for bringing us along.

I saw another dumpster diver who got a TV for free at the end of a garage sale. The guy told him it just quit working so they bought a new one. He took it home and replaced the fuse and it works fine. Good luck with that one. Let us know if it works! Happiest of birthdays to you from Cypress, TX.

Seen your notice of your vid while driving so I pulled over to watch. 😂 You done good not getting the flashing light. I am epileptic. I was born with it and had it under control for about 9 years now👍

Wow great haul 😄😄😄

Very nice video !!!👏👏👏👍

Glad to see you up and at again to being your old self 😂. God bless brother from a northern Texan.

Thank you sir for another awesome video looking forward to next Friday six stars

Mike! Please don't dread ANY birthdays. The alternative is looking up from under the grass, and we want you around for many many many many many many more years to come. Birthdays ROCK!
