Dumpster Diving "The Age Of Reason Begins"
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!

*At **9:45**:* *That round ring with the holes and the two slots is a toilet flange repair .That style is used in case one or both of the slots where the bolts go for mounting the toilet to the floor break, you set that flange over the broken flange and screw it into the floor. The round holes in the repair ring line up with the original flange holes so the screws can go through both and into the floor.*
Hey Mike, anyone who can walk the edge of a skiff as easily as you do has got to have rhythm! You always make us glad we are watching you.
The stainless steel ring that you thought was for a swimming pool light is actually a replacement flange for your toilet!😁and the bullet you found is cut to be a bottle opener!
Mike says "follow-up" and we all give a resounding "YESSSSS!"
Mike, The bullet is a bottle opener. Love the videos. 👍

I love when you find tschotkes and scrap. So interesting. My mother said, "there's nothing more fun than pawing through other peoples' junk."
I was just wondering what I was gonna do on my lunch break!!! Thanks Mike!
Keep up the good work ! Reduce! Reuse! Recycle♻️! You are a man after my own heart!
Dumpster Mike 1st time seeing the grappling hook in a while! 😊 you’re the only one who could convince us to go dumpster diving! 😂 great entertainment videos
What great finds Mike. I just dont understand the mentality of people throwing away tools. My husband has tools belonging to both sides of the family that go back generations. I suppose we belong to a more wasteful society now. Thanks for another great video as always . Have a great weekend with your wife . 🥰🇮🇪

You should see what the USN threw out in a dumpster one day. I found snap-on tools and sockets tossed. They looked so helpless and took them home where they would be cared for. That was back in the early 1983.

I love capitalism, but the number #1 thing I HATE about it is that it is VERY WASTEFUL. And Mike does his part to recover some of that waste. Thanks Mike

Resonable reason, 'ol Mike... Don't be hasty!
Mike has the "Scavenger Touch"; every time he goes into a dumpster things turn into wire, brass, and extruded aluminum :)
Mike I have so much fun listening to you and lordy you work hard. Dixie
That bullet has been made into a bottle opener. Cool find
Yes Sir...

Oh Mike, you gonna catch it kemosabi.
Always good to see you out there getting those scrapes!
What a haul. 😅 great finds. God bless you and be safe 😊
Hey Mike! Your Bullet is a bottle opener!
You think that hospital bed was old? I had to go to rehab after a long hospital stay and the bed they had for me had a crank to lift the ends of the bed! We're talking 1940s style!😮😮😮 Great job Mike,glad you took some of the random trinkets as well! Scrappity scrap! ❤❤❤
Glad I came across your channel 😊🎉
I love your videos now you have me scrapping on the side so that I could afford my hobby of collecting Hot Wheels
You find the coolest stuff! Meticulously puts small boxes into red box, haphazardly throws red box to parking lot!
The weird shaped soda bottle, that had some green muck on it, was one of the earliest coke designs, later they made the middle part smaller

A lot of those are worth hundreds. And he just tossed it.
I couldn't go on to Avery Island. Just being close to it the pepper in the air burnt my eyes & nostrils. Truth. Ty for taking us along
Don't joke about body bags. I was working near skid row in a big city we were having our morning coffee in the alley in our truck. A large black van pulled up in front of us and started pulling large black bags out of it. They cut open the bags and there were bodies inside. They cut off the clothes put the bodies on stretchers and took them into the building. We drove around the front It was part of the medical school Dept of mortuary sciences. What a way to start the day.
The item in the first dumpster is a booster / blower for a vacuum system, if it works you could fetch some good $$$$.
Dumpsters like a box of chocolates You never know what kind of why are you going to get Easy with the rain dance. It's already pretty wet up here in the north part of the state
Wow, alot of this and that, was tons of fun, thanks mike...😊😊😊
hay mike that convayer handle rubber is really good for fenders/ rubbing strakes on boats i can fetch up to $10 per meter
Great video Mike! 👍👍👍👍 Loved watching you & hearing your banter. ❤❤❤❤❤ May God Bless you & ALL of your loved ones ALWAYS! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That dumpster with all that pasta would have made an awesome donation to a food bank. Pasta lasts a long time even after sell by date. That stuff could feed a lot of people. The trinket finds were cool. Thats the fun stuff to find. God bless and stay safe out there.

Usually when shelf stable food that is not expired especially in large quantities it's due to a recent recall, if not a recall it is a distributor required by the manufacturer to dispose due to a mislabeled package Rescue and eat on your own, but donation to food bank without first thinking through that you may be sending a couple folks to the hospital due to a food allergy or other reasons is definitely not worth it.
Love watching your videos Mike it's amazing how much scrap's and treasure you find in dumpsters
Awesome finds Mike❤

I love it when they edit the videos, and add those little funny sounds in the background. Soooo funny!!!
Love you Mike !!!
Damn Mike, I've been watching you for maybe 3-4 years now and your sense of balance still makes me cringe every time you walk an edge! 😮😮😮 LOL You ever tried tightrope? This scrap gig ever runs out, you can join Cirque du Soleil! 🎉🎉🎉
Dottie treats you right and she never complains. Lots of smalls on this run for the most part.
You had quite the night! An eclectic collection of stuff! ✌🏼❤️
Mike the scavenger is awesome 😎
You crack me up playing with that cart😂😂😂❤
Thanks for another outstanding video bud

Mikey with the Wilhelm scream at 13:04. AAAAAARRRRRRHHHHHHH!!!
Excellent as usual 👍👍
Simple green, that’s good stuff.
I need a follow up of what he gets at the scrap yard and other sales of cool stuff in every episode.
Another great night 👍
One of your funniest videos. I thank you, you are always a pleasure to watch. God bless you.
Looks like a good day, glad you did well!
Glad you saved some of the everyday trinket stuff😃 the elevator hand rail can be used around boat docks to keep sharp edges covered and used like a bumper to keep the boat from hitting the wood 👍

Back in my first apartment my coffee table was a big spool [wider than taller] and my side tables were smaller spools. Couch was free from my uncle upgrading. Back when life was simpler [and cheaper]
Can't wait to see the follow up xx
I will never understand, that is nice stuff thrown away!!!
Mike finds all the cool stuff.

It was a hot wire day. 26:00 "Cheaper by the 100s!" I love the diverse scrap haul.

Wow so cool really enjoy watching your up load from Philippines.God bless you mike stay healthy strong n safe.
Hi mike, can’t wait for the follow up.😊😊
Another awesome Mike video!😊
Hi
Nice job. Where I go rich people put nice stuff out in front of the dumpsters. I post the stuff and make a killing selling it. Unfortunately I only have a car but have gotten a lot of furniture I could fit in my car and sold for good money. I’ve sold rugs sinks, lamps, tables etc. I’ve made a killing on what I can fit in the car. I even got a grandfather clock that works that I kept. All prophet. I once had 10 people fight over gulf clubs, whoever got to me first I sold them. I love collecting other peoples trash, it becomes my spending money. 😊
It is really mind blowing what people throw out, until next video 😀👍❤️
That bullet is a bottle opener. I have the exact same one! 😎👍🏻🍺
Good morning Mike
Paused the vlog. Sharing now!!!
You a crack me up when you find electronics in a box and open it and throw the manual away and say " what is this..what is it?" Lol
