Dumpster Diving "This One's For You, Selma!"

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!

Rest easy knowing you gave her your best. She leaves a paw sized hole in your heart and a lifetime of precious memories. Hugs and GOD bless both of you. ❤️❤️

    So sorry for the loss of Selma. I know you were a real treasure to each other. I saw the garage scene with her. I live in Texas and am a Senior and want you to know I discovered your channel last year and have been trying to watch all your videos. I'm back 1 year now. I love what you do to keep scrap out of the landfill. I always try to figure out another way to use things. You bring a happiness to what you do and make it interesting and entertaining at the same time for us viewers. I saw the furniture you made and it was stunning and beautiful. There is one thing I'm wondering is why you don't always park nearer the dumpster so you can throw things into it without having to pick it up a 2nd time. But I'm thinking you don't want Dottie seen to near where you're at if security is lurking around. Is that the why?? Am looking forward to your videos and hope you can continue to make them for many more years to come. Take care and hope you come across some heavy duty copper somewhere.
