Dumpster Diving "Found A Bag Full Of Watches!!!"

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.

[@101doreen]

With all the paramilitary Prepper folks, I bet, you could sell those radio holders!

[@reddirtgeorgia]

You make me flinch every time you pull that conduit towards the camera. 😅

[@janetellis909]

Awesome copper find watching you from a sunny kefalonia greece xxx

[@lisagood1272]

Great copper haul ! So happy for you , and a beautiful house🎉

[@larryd4352]

Wow...that was one huge piece of copper! Dottie was filled up!!!

[@bengone3349]

Mike, that was a HEAVY haul for sure, with big copper weight. Ok, now its time to get back to the new house.

[@grantmorden2405]

Nice copper score. And the watches too. Totally awesome.

[@edwardgrimes8572]

Loving it, Mike! My hobbies are restoring old watches and watching 'Mike the Scavenger' videos. Let me know what you want for the watches!

[@paulamiller7667]

Please message me if you are interested in old watches. I have a great many that I’d like to get rid of.

[@darrenswails]

Why not make videos of the restoration of them?

[@kathleenmccown3066]

I too have some old watches and watch parts that you may be interested in !! If you are let me know thx

[@russell3837]

​@@paulamiller7667 how much for all your watches

[@russell3837]

​@@kathleenmccown3066 how much do you wanted for all

[@johnspargrove4816]

Nice find in that one open top with all that copper can't wait for the follow up can't wait to see all the Wachtel can't wait on the next one hope you are getting moved into your new home

[@aarongrabowski3775]

Awesome score mike. You should carry a battery powered sawzall and battery powered grinder for cutting big heavy stuff down to more manageable pieces

[@teresaridgeway2214]

Watching from Georgia. I wish there were more folks like you.

[@mrfizas]

More folks, less stuff 🤭🤭

[@cathyharville7226]

Watching from Augusta Georgia also!

[@skeeterfan3626]

@@mrfizas Oh there's plenty of stuff to go around. Just too many lazy people who would rather rob people than go out and make money.

[@hinu1987]

I'd DEFINITELY call that a VERY SUCCESSFUL night's work my dude! Practically got a whole ass house payment in the back of dear ol'Dottie! Congrats!

[@judithl-akathesausageinspe9388]

Great work on the stripping down the big stuff down, and getting all those parts and the copper 🧰😀🤩

[@TNgrandee3]

We are just happy for you when you find lots of scrap!!

[@YellwRozTx]

Keeping re-usables out of the landfill and saving the planet - one dumpster at a time!

[@bobmcdoggish9659]

Nice haul today. I love the thick pieces of copper.

[@gazb87yorkshiresalt48]

Mike falling over in the first 20 seconds made me chuckle! A new drinking game is take a shot if Mike slips or falls. Great job again Mike!!! 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧✌

[@ddawe31635]

That's right!

[@ANIMAL168]

That was one heavy piece of copper. Awesome video. Love to watch you Mike. Benny

[@Vikingwerk]

15:50 I expected that to be one of those scrap contract open tops you can’t touch! Big find!

[@michelleg8727]

Looking forward to the follow up👍 what a good haul! Scrappy scrap scrap 👊

[@pennyh9445]

That's a great haul, looking forward to the follow-up, and the next video 📹 😀

[@MrDavidoff59]

Oh mon dieu !! C'est ce qui s'appelle une très bonne soirée. ✌️✌️

[@mdouglaswray]

Nice score on that big gadget - SO MUCH COPPER!! Sweet.

[@jamesfitzgerald2361]

Mike my favorite scrapper!

[@shoultzada]

Mike I love your spirit and character while watching you make your finds here in your videos.... I can tell your truly happy doing this stuff. I was just wanting you to know to keep up making these great videos and never lose your soul man it's fun watching you.

[@davidmckinley2070]

That's my favorite ending is Mike the scavenger thank you for recycling everything that's you find

[@MrTrekkiep3]

Here in the UK those copper bars you got are classed as buzz bar and they are worth a lot more than ordinary copper

[@scrapguy6816]

Dang!!! You sure do find some good dumpsters. 👍 Looking forward to the fallow up.

[@lorchid23]

Almost every episode, I catch myself asking “Who the heck throws away a ______________??” This episode it’s “bag full of watches”.

[@1_GigaWaffle]

Yeah, in a factory I worked, no one would throw away those huge metal boxes, especially with copper still inside. When higher ups don't want to even buy sheet metal for day to day repairs, it's a great source.

[@leslie_carroll]

Entitled people with top much money throw good shit away

[@dewaynedeason5]

He said hold on, I actually have some tools 😂

[@lisamedlin96]

The (OHMY GOD) dumpster is right. How awesome!

[@alive.off-grid]

Oh yeah Mike get that big strips of copper. I pulled them out at the salvage yard all the time. My boss loves it when I pull that copper out of them big computer Banks power Banks. Yep they get big smiles on their face. That'll be a good haul. God bless take care congrats on the house

[@kirkfisher980]

Tell us over the video what was the worst thing you ever stepped in when he jumped into the dumpster. 🤙

[@AB-un4io]

He’s stepped into a bucket of paint. Lots of paint. Mike has injured himself on scrap…got a pretty nasty puncture wound on his leg. But I think that’s all. He rocks on!

[@davidoconn9352]

What a load!!! literally... Thanks Mike!

[@doggerproductions]

You grace them dumpsters with pure class mike 😄👍🇬🇧

[@SpeedsterVlog]

This was a GOLD day for ya my brother! Congrats.

[@michelebrown7951]

[@davidlindsey2772]

[@j.lietka9406]

You found a tossed out hoverboard?!?! Man!! Mike, you have all the luck!! The watches are also a great find!! 🤓 You now have to remove a fan from it's motor, give it time, & the scrap yard will be asking for the glass window on the stoves to be removed too!! Good mind set sir, take what you can.

[@TXNLIF]

Killer haul Mike... The Copper Gods was with u ..keep on Savaging..

[@blevins6584mopar]

In that bag of watches there was a Waze camera small white square. Under the bottom of it is usually a micro SD card I have several of those cameras around my house they're pretty nice and cheap 😉
