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!

    I found a little over $2,000 in gold teeth in a bag in the dumpster that was with a whole bunch of old dentist tools and drills from the 60s and 70s from Cal State University...Everything from 14k,16k,18k,22k and 24k! I can definitely agree with you on the fact that dumpster diving pays wayyyyyy too well to not do it! Keep the videos coming big dawg!

    Strange you found 22k and 24k teeth. I have never heard of a gold that high purity used because of it being to soft. Most common is 16k but 14k to 18k is not unheard of. Same reason Jewlers don't generally put expensive stones in gold higher then 20k.

    When my grandmother died my grandfather tasked my mom and all the aunts with cleaning out her dresser. Same thing happened Grandma had twenties here and fifties there tucked into every little spot. I think they cleared over $500 after meticulously picking through everything. You always always have to check older people's belongings carefully! They were from a different generation and hid things differently

    Pro tip to wash legos... Put them into a mesh laundry bag (like for delicates) and then put them on the top rack of the dishwasher to wash. Don't use the drying cycle, but take the bag outside and swing it in a circle to get most of the water out. Lay them on a towel to finish drying.

    We had a huge thrift store around here (long gone now), but this place was the size of a supermarket, I remember my father buying some stuff one time when I was about 12, he brings the stuff home and finds a bill in the pocket, I overheard him telling people about this, and being obsessed with money as a kid, I figured "I'm gonna go check this out", So a day or so later I walk over there, and go up and down these long rows of clothing racks, checking every single pocket on the pants, and then a day later, on all the jackets, and scored over $300 bucks, I went home and stuck it in my room somewhere and didnt say anything at the time, and a day or so later I come back from school and here he is, looking pissed like I did something, I went "whats the matter", and he flashes this wad of bills and goes "Where the hell did this come from >:o ?" as if he had just caught me red handed in the middle of some illicit scam or something, I mentioned overhearing his convo and told him where it came from, and then like the typical ass he was, he says "well good, I'm holding onto it until you need it because you're not using it to go buying a shitload of candy or anything like that which you dont need"... needless to say a short while later when I was about to go to my grandmothers for the weekend (his mother), I told her in advance that he was scoffing my $ and wasnt gonna give it back, and that I wanted it for some fishing equipment I wanted to grab this weekend, and when she came to pick me up, she went inside and made him hand it over and I got it back from her when we left !

    @@hummingbird275 an old relative of mine passed away a few years ago. She had a backyard shed full of junk. We're just tossing stuff away because we were tired of dealing with all the stuff. Just by chance I noticed a $100 savings bond in a box. Ended up finding 53 of them. Why she would keep that in a shed out back where mice or thieves could get to it is beyond me. But, you just never know what you're gonna find.
