Dumpster Diving "The Taste Of Money"

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!

In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur. I prowl the city streets in search of dumpster loot, curbside treasures & scrap metal as well as scour the river bottoms for lost valuables during the summer months when I can scrounge up enough money for gas.

    Hey Mike, thanks for the great videos. I don't know if you'll actually read this because this posting isn't exactly brand new but... that stuff that looks like corrugated roofing is actually used to pour cement on in multi-story structures. I'm writing this as you're recovering from your surgical procedure. Good luck with the healing my friend. And remember, It may be true that your body is your temple but even temples need a little work every once in awhile.

    those small empty wire spools are too useful to leave in the dumper. they're really handy for storing garden hoses, extension cords and air hoses. i have about half a dozen of them i use for just those reasons. it also makes hauling and using them on the jobsite a lot easier. i just make a letter G shaped bail from rebar for them so they are easy to carry, and make a handle out of a bolt and some pvc pipe on the open end to hold while i wind and unwind the things on them. my lady used to put her christmas lights on them so they didn't morph into a ball of evil when they weren't being used.
