Dumpster Diving "Got 5 Laptops!"

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.

The three wise men

[@darlenemuniz5453]

Yes how does he not see that there the 3 wise men! He's so silly 🤣 😜 lol love him

[@karbear26]

Haha I was yelling three wise men too!

[@MikeTheScavenger]

I should have known that 🤦‍♂️

[@indianaslim4971]

How wise are they to end up in a dumpster?

[@karenearly-horne8210]

Lol yep

[@aries37]

Those 3 Kings of Orient are, bearing gifts they traveled so far.

[@matthew-Williams]

Those "Chess pieces" looks more like the three wise men from a nativity set.

[@rickybroussard5350]

That’s the 3 wise men

[@Vault57]

They 4:15 are the three wise men, Xmas decorations. The arms are holding a treasure box, two of the statues seem to be missing the arm part. 19:03 they look like old lobby lights to an elevator. You know, going up and going down indicators. The white plastic round parts are lens covers. One of each set should have a red filter for the down indicator. And I saw that they've just painted the lamp red, not using a red filter.

[@indianaslim4971]

My bet is on Mike if there's ever a dumpster diving event in the Olympics.......solid Gold!

[@michaelmount76]

Thanks for another great video bud

[@wicked.mainah5994]

Mike has a steel studding phobia, lol.

[@pilkpulk8284]

hi mike! these figures are the holy three kings of the christmas story.... have a great time, buddy. greetings from pilkland!

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

Completely correct

[@aarongreenakacavemonster904]

And mike wish you best of luck with your new home

[@melindaivey4772]

I think those metal things that you said you thought were chess pieces are actually the three wise men from a large nativity set.

[@davidrumbelow]

Careful of insulation on water heaters , cockroaches love them for the heat in winter.

[@bulletsonofagun7413]

Mikes very first sponsor, Huggies wipes!

[@ronaldsteichen838]

I said it before and I'll say it again Mr. MIKE you are the SCRAP KING

[@wackyrice1]

I love seeing you save some of that lumber. . kudos Up here in 'da norte, the water heaters are almost always wrapped. Saves a lot on the fuel bill.

[@daviswallace6351]

My daughter came down to talk with me about the time in the video where you were saying "gotta keep it soft....softy soft soft" along with the little squeeze action. She wanted to know what the HELL I was watching. Took her about 5-6 minutes to determine I was not watching something kinky.... 🤣 Oh, and my parrot now has "what is that?" as part of her vocab....

[@Zeddicus_Zorander]

😂 dumpster hose 🦜

[@lindaswanson9328]

Now you have to teach him how to say "whatta we got up in here y'all." That would be priceless. I say it all the time. Out loud. In public. I love the crazy looks. Keeps it fun.

[@chrisbland9539]

LMAO!!! 😂😂 At least she's not saying, "gotta keep it soft"....

[@lanna7917]

He's baby fresh lol

[@ppshale7223]

Mike Mike Mike! Thanks for taking us all along ! I appreciate you! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!

[@danielmcniel6036]

[@4squarebeast554]

Hay mike when you got to go it’s nice to have the right utensils.

[@blazephamous7425]

Honest man earning honest living

[@donnajohnson2604]

Jajajajaja, saludos desde España 🇪🇸.

[@keithgriner330]

Interesting dumpster finds, 5 laptops. Good scrap haul. Mike you have a good day and we will catch on the flipside.😎👊🏻

[@kimberly1273]

When there is a water heater in the dumpster, why not back up to the dumpster and push the water heater into the back of the truck?

[@debbielance3892]

Awesome night Mike. Stop beating your hands up you do not want arthritis setting in when you get older. Getting mine shot up again the 26th. Hugs to the family and your doggies. 🙂👍🙂

[@michaelmcguiggan9394]

5 Laptops? That would be Paradise for me. :)

[@codyvermillion2381]

You had a great night, good haul. You’re a hard worker. Can’t wait til the next video!!

[@robertschwartzman195]

Those long items are either heaters that go above a door or LED lights that you might see at store for lighting up products like cosmetics where lighting is a must.

[@j.lietka9406]

Just the laptops alone would have been enough for me!! Mike, you have the best luck!! I usually look for cables and chargers for them.

[@elainephleps4705]

[@shanepoindexter2644]

@mikethescavenger, the "chess pieces" at 4 minutes are the 3 wise men from a nativity set. The "head piece with a box" is his arms and gift. Those are fantastic a find!!!

[@elizabethdean3420]

[@Baldskul]

[@bigjarn]

that insulation on the water heater was a 1980's kit you could order over the phone. you gave the height and girth and five days later the kit arrived.
