Dumpster Diving "There's Motors Down Here!"

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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

    I know I’m a year late, but those small green boards make great keychains. I saw you just found a bunch of key rings plus the metal loops you use when climbing- but the ones you found were fake. Just combine the two pieces and sell them in bulk. You can use any e-board type, including RAM chips. Great gifts for the geek.

    If you find body panels from vehicles like that tailgate with logos or lettering, take those off and e-bay them. Use a length of fishing line like a cable saw to cut through the glue holding them on.They are small to store and cheap to ship. They are also often really expensive to get from a dealer if they even have them available at all. There are people who collect that sort of thing so they should sell.

I recycle so things went into the right bins and then I took off most of the copper wire. I will be using the wire to work on my jewelry.

I myself think it would be cool. Anyway, love all the videos. I wish I had half the energy you have. Maybe I should sell my trailblazer and by a good used truck and go out picking and dumpster diving. Take care and be safe.

    gotta dig more in the computer containing dumpsters, may well find more goodies if you dig beneath the surface layer a bit. Also try Salvation army/goodwill/thrift store dumpsters, they'll often toss dvds, cds, games amongst other things that can easily sell. Sometimes even blu rays too. And if you have a mom n pop pc repair shop check their dumpster too.
