Dumpster Diving & Curbsiding "Put Your Hands Here & Touch It"

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!

Hello fellow Mike subscribers, Mike has his garage sales on his playlists and other such great, his followup's his river scavenging, taking stuff apart..........You don't have to wait for a new video from Mike if you haven't been through his old ones yet.........You can go back a few years when he would leave stuff in the dumpster that had cords attached......He did that. Anyway Enjoy like I do.

[@SuperClarky666]

is mike paying you to say all that 😉😄👍🏻

[@oyet72863]

I have watch every one of them since he started vlogging❤️

[@RavenCajun]

Been watching Mike since the beginning! Never miss a video. ❤

[@RussellDunn-l5v]

Have watched most all your videos. Get a laugh every time farting etc makes me feel good don't ever stop my friend

[@MyCracker1234]

@@RussellDunn-l5v They aren't my video's they're Mikes video's.......He isn't paying me like one subscriber asked, I just feel that he has video\s that A LOT subscribers haven't seen, they e worth watching.......You don;r have to be paid to suggest something to others.....It's not even a good deed, its just highlighting that there are more video's than people have watched.

[@number7__879]

Yes Sir!!!

[@tammys9801]

Thank you Mike for keeping earth a bit more healthy 💚 Amazes me how much metal gets thrown away 🙄

[@Sammys477]

Car parts: possibly compressor form a hybred, the things with the fluid are brake boosters for hybred, the part with holes on the side is either rear diff or a power transfer unit, like a transfer case for all wheel drive vehicles.

[@vivianbrett3782]

Thank you ❤

[@annettebeavers7866]

I agree with your family Utuube videos let us know you are saving the planet.❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@savvycrafter8518]

That foiling and capping machine seals the foil on the inside of jars and such before they shipped out the price for them ranges between 650.00 and 5,000.00

[@ProductionsLightMike]

That exact model sells at Home Depot for 89.04......

[@evamilligan9398]

Yay!

[@CrabOfDoom]

Hose clamp rack would be awesome for hair ties, bracelets, and casual watches. If the sign part's metal, could be a nice display for photos with button magnets (or, more likely for me, a fridge magnet collection so the fridge itself stays neater.) What a cool piece to find.

[@ThePresidentialTourist]

Always a good day when I see a new vid from Mike. They help me through my many bad days.

[@DCHoosier62]

I have never seen metal pallets before. Great score!

[@moviebuff174]

[@DCHoosier62]

My little homestead brain is thinking, those would be awesome for hog fencing!

[@dr.a006]

I thought that too!

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

[@فيسكا100]

that shock is an air shock. used back in the day when your springs were sagging in the back of your car, or just to be cool and have it jacked up with big tires

[@KenDubach]

Mike, have you ever thought about putting a lift gate on your truck?

[@rebeccacrone8864]

You need a Dewalt cordless bandsaw in the truck. Makes cutting down those long lengths of pipe easy.

[@edyizidhan5807]

[@bengone3349]

Good catch for the kids. I'm surprised you didn't take the other long pipes from the first dumpster.

[@leslie_carroll]

He said they were too long like they were over 15 to 20 feet just like the last ones

[@roberthardy2013]

You found The Bandit ? Jest waitin fer Smokie now !

[@elizabethmedrano1396]

I would have taken the 3 drawer storage to put there new finds in. Plus the pencil pillow Clocks could have put on a freebie page any teacher would have loved to get them

[@alialzorgany]

Good job Mike .. your fan from Libya 🇱🇾

[@nashlepak]

Нові контейнерні пригоди 😁. Тепер залишилося знайти в контейнері залізничну рельсу

[@michaelmount76]

Thanks for another great video bud

[@judithl-akathesausageinspe9388]

Hi Mike, good evening from Chester in the UK

[@Jibbie49]

Mike, you got it.

[@lamiglass1]

Stream light makes good flashlights

[@clyderiddle6850]

Hey bro, that fire hose makes great rub rail around boat Dock. Watching from the Philippines

[@scottbormann2765]

Mike, I'm so glad you found you're marbles, keep up the craziness, we love it! That chain on the bike was rusted, you ain't pedaling anywhere with that one.

[@leslie_carroll]

Nothing a little wd forty and machine oil can't fix

[@elisaortizmignolet419]

No nada mas relajante y estar a gusto mirando a mi buen Mike acompañada de un buen tazon de te gracias maestro por ser motivo de un rato de tranquilidad un abrazo

[@jackiegromacki686]

Mike finally found his marbles.

[@TheJunkymagi]

I suggest donating to a local school the chalk/markers? I work at a homeless shelter and we're always needing things like that too for training projects to help people develop their creativity. Besides food, we're always needing towels/washcloths (homeless come by to shower, clean up to try to get jobs and towels disappear). I've been binge watching your shows and I'm always exclaiming "We could use that!" over and over, lol, but I'm in Arkansas so shipping would be extravagant. I've commented it before but gotta say it again, you sound and have the same energy as Gallagher, I keep expecting you to pull out a big wooden hammer and smashing a pumpkin or watermelon, LOL.

[@dsells584]

Hey Mike, that dumpster where you found the shock looks like a place that works on Car Washes. There were some boxes in that had G&G on them. Those are LED light bars. They cost between $600-$900 each.

[@Westiewest]

hold your breath? so did you while watching LOL

[@RavenCajun]

Hey Mike now that you have over 500k subscribers it would be awesome if you did another getting to know Mike video like you did at 100k. We sure would appreciate it! I miss it when you don't end the video with PEACE! ✌️✌️✌️✌️

[@jamesyeoman5219]

The Scrap Badger is in the House!!!! 😃

[@ginozanga2129]

Wow! School supplies thrown away! So sad, especially when teachers spend money out of their own pockets for that. I’m sure you can donate to a kindergarten or preschool. You’re the man Mike.👍

[@jenniholbrook4005]

Great job.

[@Champagne1]

Your nieces must Love it when Uncle Mikey comes to visit eh ?? You got a whole bunch of Great stuff for them. Now Mike, I’ve watched Every one of your videos at least 6 times each, and I don’t believe I’ve ever seen any steel pallets. Did I miss something somewhere ?? Maybe I’m getting old if I did. Please take care of yourself and your family. Love you Peace ♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦

[@ginnyhardy-uf6th]

Good morning Mikey !!
