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.

🇺🇸Hello neighbor love to watch Mike if I were younger I might try it looks like fun and very profitable 🇨🇦😀🍀👌
I was worried the nails in the pallet were going to impale your head. But it was fun. It was like being in a cave for sure. Stay safe and God Bless
Awesome dumpster finds mike, another thing I wanted to say is you are an inspiration to tons of people your attitude your drive are just beyond awesome as well,even if you dont find much your spirit is just incredible, well great video once again cant wait for the next one,stay safe
That slicer looking "circumcision" thing you picked out of the third dumpster, is exactly that. It is used to slice through laminate flooring.

Spelunking for motors... could be a chapter in your book of memories. Thanks for sharing this wonderful journey. Cheers
Always a great day with Mike on the scene
How I love some good electric motors, almost as much as a good Mike The Scavenger video 👍👍👍👍😃
Good haul. Always fun to ride along! Take care and be safe.
Definitely quality over quantity tonight!
I like the Thundering Herd shirt!!!! By God West VA!!!!!

He had a PO Box last year and fans could send him stuff. It was nice when you would catch the socks or the t you sent. MU grad
That motor dumpster was so fun!
Way to go, Speelunker Mike! What a score on the motor parts! Awesome dive!
Hey Mike, it would be really kewl if every once in a while you could respond to the comments from your viewers like you used to! Still enjoy your veedeeooos! Anyway, stay dirty, and catch you on the flip side.......
All in all, a successful evening of scrapping out there in the Houston area jungle!
Leave no stone unturned 👍🏻banging mate. Loving your enthusiasm mike. One of the best

yeah mate, on the noggin
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.
Afternoon Mike The Scavenger
I enjoy watching.Your energy and positive attitude is great
Sportin those boots Mike! I never leave home without my black leather 8" Bellevilles.
Can’t stop Mike
Nice haul brother five stars
Dang you're sooo fast and strong ! I could never keep up with you.
Rivets are better than bolts. All you do is drill them and the fall apart.👍
Hey Mike, Them blower motors off the furnace are worth money, I to scrap a lot and if you take the blower motors and put a cord on them people will buy them for garage fans, I sell mine for $25 bucks each and they sell like hot cakes.
Sorry did see the springs, but had a good time tagging along.
Always fun. Snazzy boots . You’re a trend setter.
Mikethescavenger: STUD.
Wow. Tight squeeze Mike.
Great haul, just keep digging! 🇦🇺🇦🇺
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.
Good going mike. Have a great day my friend.
Hey Mike. ever thought about leaving a calling card on dumpsters to say you will be back on some schedule? maybe they wouldn't bury the good stuff on the bottom then! ;)
Yes sir!!!!
Spelunking... too funny. Can't stop laughing at that one.
Heavens, take out the skid and save your energy from it hitting your head, while you are diving down to the bottom for all those small items!! You always clean up your work.
You can save that Ram sign :D it's nice.
Thanks for the ride along. Hope you aren't getting sick. Your breathing seemed a little more labored tonight. Stay safe out there.
Love watching your videos always a adventure
hahaha! Mike you get tunnel vision when you find scrap. you were right, it would've been easier to just move the stuff out of the way then to crawl under it. ☺

Mikey you hard working fool ❤🛠🛠🛠🛠🛠🛠🛠🛠
Happy ,happy scrapping mike
You can sell those circuit boards on E-bay...they contain real gold on the contacts. Usually, not always, 5 lbs of boards will contain 25grams of gold or more! Interesting hobby you have there, dumpster diving...heheh
Mike stay safe and warm. Another good video.
I like it when you take all the crap that way it I a not in a dump!
I don't know but wires and such that they make me wanna blush I'm so happy to see them even if they are deep down at the bottom in the mush....
Rippin ish up! I took apart a tabletop fan tonight! I have reattached wires before but that wasn't this motors problem. It just plum wore out! 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. Thanks for pointing me in a great learning experiment, Rippin ish up!
you are the scrapmaster!!! I love how you pick up !!
Thanks Mike for your video
Get your motor running,head out on the hiway looking for adventure,and what ever comes your way.BORN TO BE WILD.
Always a great day with Mike,up to the next vid. grts from germany

Rocking the the MU t-shirt, nice.
Great find again
Love your Nita!
That Brutus lever cutter @ 5:15 is a shingle cutter.
Great video as always!!!
Thanks Mike for another great vid
If there's one piece of scrap left Mike will get it!!!

Hey Mike, how ya doing ?? I wish that you could make some longer videos for us. I’m not complaining mind you. I love All your videos. Take care ♥️🌈🙏🇨🇦
You should get a trailer to pull with you Mike. More room to fill. Just a suggestion...
Nice haul.✌️🐎
I bet there is a lifetime warranty on that Milwaukee tool dolly.
Oh wow you are sooooooooo funny I'm getting anxiety here yelling at you to move the pallet and shelf thingy out of the dumpster and there you go after all that struggle to say (I should have taken that crap out) oh, mike mike but i love your videos anyways!!!

Me too! Love these videos but I get so into it when I see stuff being left! Not easy work I know...appreciate his energies!
Yeah scrap!
How many times we have to tell you park truck closer , haha 😄
I want it!! 🤣🤣. I don’t know what it is, but I want it!!!
Good things come to those who wait. I hope you weren't affected by the tornadoes
if your van was a bitty bitty closer eh eh !!
Good pull Mike
Hey Mike, I don't want to tell you how to put out videos, but I have an idea for you. You should video your trips to the scrap yard and once a week have all the trips on one video. 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.
nice scrap ;) Cheers from Poland!
SCRAP AND STUFF 🤘👍🏽🍺💪
The copper shines so good, in the motors, you have to clean them👌😁
You are the man keep it up love watching you 👍
The tape measure stuff is a depth to water indicator.
Poco pero bueno 😝😝🤟🤟👍👍
Mike you should make a video on taking out all that copper from the motors plz plz plz live the videos. You always make my day brighter when I wake your videos. Keep up the good work. Would love a shout out if possible lol
Awesome video glad to 👀 yu mike scraper hope yu get alot of money 💰💸
Nice video and very very nice work awesome videos
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.
