Dumpster Diving "The Age Of Reason Begins"

[@Danielthornton61]

*At **9:45**:* *That round ring with the holes and the two slots is a toilet flange repair .That style is used in case one or both of the slots where the bolts go for mounting the toilet to the floor break, you set that flange over the broken flange and screw it into the floor. The round holes in the repair ring line up with the original flange holes so the screws can go through both and into the floor.*

[@TNgrandee3]

Hey Mike, anyone who can walk the edge of a skiff as easily as you do has got to have rhythm! You always make us glad we are watching you.

[@lindaswanson9328]

Mike says "follow-up" and we all give a resounding "YESSSSS!"

[@dalemills8052]

Just sent a hospital bed back to the company. My wife past away a few days ago from cancer. Cancer is so destructive.

[@colleenposadas8415]

so sorry for your loss Dale😢

[@dianaredlich2459]

Gebet für dich , Gott stehe dir bei ✝️💜🙏

[@franksworld9922]

I am sincerely sorry for your loss my friend 😢 😔 ❤

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

The stainless steel ring that you thought was for a swimming pool light is actually a replacement flange for your toilet!😁and the bullet you found is cut to be a bottle opener!

[@virginiacluck2647]

When I got my first place I had a big spool for a coffee table. I thought it was the coolest thing.

[@b0necollect0r77]

Mike, The bullet is a bottle opener. Love the videos. 👍

[@steves03cobra]

Yep got a 30-06 one on my keys

[@SwimCampSSS]

The weird shaped soda bottle, that had some green muck on it, was one of the earliest coke designs, later they made the middle part smaller

[@INRIKingOfKings]

A lot of those are worth hundreds. And he just tossed it.

[@ronbrandich4196]

Thanks for the fun time Mike!! It's always FUN to be with you on a SCRAP HUNT for sure!!

[@danno3497]

I love watching the Saturday morning MTS Scraptoons!

[@Sweetyhide]

😂

[@cathymora9106]

I love when you find tschotkes and scrap. So interesting. My mother said, "there's nothing more fun than pawing through other peoples' junk."

[@charlesrausch3945]

The simple green is good stuff.

[@tonznz007]

In New Zealand, I wouldn't dare to mimic the chants made by indigenous people like you did Mike. And reading the comments no one said anything. Wow!

[@blaaaaaaarrrrr]

I was wondering, too. I'm from Europe though. Not judging, just noticing.

[@hinu1987]

As a native American I can say that it is not sitting well with me!😕

[@hinu1987]

I was surprised no one said anything as well!

[@grahamfreeman2252]

I was very uncomfortable when Mike started chanting. Not respecting cultural traditions by performing parodies of significant rituals is definitely not something you should do. I wonder if there would be more push-back if he was making fun of African Americans rather than Native Americans.

[@jeffbelcher4646]

Love the sound of Scrap in a dumpster in the morning Watch your Head buddy watch your head!!

[@beckmyhjilbert6441]

I know dottie is a workin girl, but fear for her life when you toss heavy items her way. Haha great finds

[@MikeTheScavenger]

She’s a work horse but I promise she gets the best of the best when it comes to mechanical servicing

[@SRQmoviemaker]

That'll be a million mile truck someday... might have a few more dings and dents though lol

[@Bigf00tKEO]

Love taps, smooches, and the occasional spanking

[@cliffordvasy2090]

Keep up the good work ! Reduce! Reuse! Recycle♻️! You are a man after my own heart!

[@buddyshover5190]

Mike we love you be safe

[@andycriddle-sv5zh]

This man is not afraid to go out and look for work all the best Mike, Andy from England.

[@antoinettefoster5598]

What great finds Mike. I just dont understand the mentality of people throwing away tools. My husband has tools belonging to both sides of the family that go back generations. I suppose we belong to a more wasteful society now. Thanks for another great video as always . Have a great weekend with your wife . 🥰🇮🇪

[@PortersMob]

company fires of employee, throws away anything in their space thats not company provided or company property and/or the employee assigned to do the clean out just doesn't care and throws everything away.

[@1976antique1976]

I was just wondering what I was gonna do on my lunch break!!! Thanks Mike!

[@AurigaMV]

Glad I came across your channel 😊🎉

[@number7__879]

Yes Sir...

[@RonHicks]

Mike has the "Scavenger Touch"; every time he goes into a dumpster things turn into wire, brass, and extruded aluminum :)

[@Oldgrumpyvet67]

Danger Will Robinson Mike has a maraca this is going to be a great run now.

[@tammymanuel9158]

That dumpster with all that pasta would have made an awesome donation to a food bank. Pasta lasts a long time even after sell by date. That stuff could feed a lot of people. The trinket finds were cool. Thats the fun stuff to find. God bless and stay safe out there.

[@kennethguckert4771]

Such a waste,all the food that is through away in our country.

[@jayr9810]

Usually when shelf stable food that is not expired especially in large quantities it's due to a recent recall, if not a recall it is a distributor required by the manufacturer to dispose due to a mislabeled package Rescue and eat on your own, but donation to food bank without first thinking through that you may be sending a couple folks to the hospital due to a food allergy or other reasons is definitely not worth it.

[@ANIMAL168]

That was a lot of good and new tools. Awesome run.

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Thanks 👍

[@mikeszymkowiak8520]

Dumpster Mike 1st time seeing the grappling hook in a while! 😊 you’re the only one who could convince us to go dumpster diving! 😂 great entertainment videos

[@JMZVIDEOZ]

That bullet has been made into a bottle opener. Cool find

[@jonesy128]

KING OF THE OPEN TOPS, PRINCE OF SIDEWALK GOLD. HIS TRUSTED SHIP THE DOTTIE!! ARR MATEY HALLOWEEN IS ON THE HORIZON!! HOPE ALL IS WELL GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE OUT THERE!! PEACE ✌☮

[@Chaosmike2000]

hay mike that convayer handle rubber is really good for fenders/ rubbing strakes on boats i can fetch up to $10 per meter

[@johnwarner6858]

Don't joke about body bags. I was working near skid row in a big city we were having our morning coffee in the alley in our truck. A large black van pulled up in front of us and started pulling large black bags out of it. They cut open the bags and there were bodies inside. They cut off the clothes put the bodies on stretchers and took them into the building. We drove around the front It was part of the medical school Dept of mortuary sciences. What a way to start the day.

[@Mountain_Bike_Archaeology]

Resonable reason, 'ol Mike... Don't be hasty!

[@godisalwaysright.3155]

I love capitalism, but the number #1 thing I HATE about it is that it is VERY WASTEFUL. And Mike does his part to recover some of that waste. Thanks Mike

[@LogosBKC]

But Capitalism allows for the Mikes of the world to capitalize on it. :)

[@wolfgangricky]

I couldn't go on to Avery Island. Just being close to it the pepper in the air burnt my eyes & nostrils. Truth. Ty for taking us along

[@michelebrown7951]

Hey Mike, very nice haul, can't wait for the follow up. Scrapy scrap ❤

[@Vault57]

Oh Mike, you gonna catch it kemosabi.

[@adelaidesocki]

Lots of great finds.

[@brianmunyon5669]

You find the coolest stuff! Meticulously puts small boxes into red box, haphazardly throws red box to parking lot!

[@danielnicholson6683]

The item in the first dumpster is a booster / blower for a vacuum system, if it works you could fetch some good $$$$.

[@franciscosandiego3026]

great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲

[@scottgriz]

Mikey with the Wilhelm scream at 13:04. AAAAAARRRRRRHHHHHHH!!!

[@user-gw8ro1gy5z]

Mike I have so much fun listening to you and lordy you work hard. Dixie

[@dianewilliams1125]

You think that hospital bed was old? I had to go to rehab after a long hospital stay and the bed they had for me had a crank to lift the ends of the bed! We're talking 1940s style!😮😮😮 Great job Mike,glad you took some of the random trinkets as well! Scrappity scrap! ❤❤❤

[@kmccoy1601]

You are a beast throwing that much wire into your truck! Have a good day! Blessings and Peace ✝️❤️

[@SRQmoviemaker]

Back in my first apartment my coffee table was a big spool [wider than taller] and my side tables were smaller spools. Couch was free from my uncle upgrading. Back when life was simpler [and cheaper]

[@robertschwartzman195]

Hey Mike those brand new wire could be for wiring for the Atari hand controllers and can be resold to game stores or hobbiest that like to build. Why would someone throw out hand wrenches and others. The key you found is to open some electrical cabinets you found once before remember ?? All those noodles could been sent to the middle east or to countries that had earthquakes. The fighting have left so many with out basic necessities. Until you don't have much of food any little bit helps. Even the food pantries could use the food to help locally in the neighborhoods. I'm hoping someone will read my PSA and help.

[@OlsonShawn]

Hey Mike! Your Bullet is a bottle opener!

[@philweinrich9552]

Can't believe people throw away tools.

[@dr.a006]

He never has to shop at a hardware store for tools ever!

[@wolfparty4234]

Almost every ex girlfriend I’ve had and my ex wife threw away any tools she could of gotten her hands on! Anything that would get me upset 🤷🏻‍♂️. My mom trashed a lot of my fathers tool years ago. I grabbed back out the trash thou! Hahaha

[@robertschwartzman195]

You should see what the USN threw out in a dumpster one day. I found snap-on tools and sockets tossed. They looked so helpless and took them home where they would be cared for. That was back in the early 1983.

[@MikeTheScavenger]

I know, right???

[@daewooparts]

​@@dr.a006fools throw away tools 🔧

[@kin0mine]

Glad you saved some of the everyday trinket stuff😃 the elevator hand rail can be used around boat docks to keep sharp edges covered and used like a bumper to keep the boat from hitting the wood 👍

[@campervan-john]

Very useful item, he should of grabbed it

[@olgahurghis6667]

Bună seara Mike să ai o seară frumoasă.Felicitari an tot ce faci.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@roxanne9651]

Thats a bullet bottle opener 😂

[@michaeltroupe6058]

[@clyderiddle6850]

Hey man, how about you making a video showing us your box of curiosities? That would make for a good video..keep up the good work..❤your work

[@terryeason4319]

Dumpsters like a box of chocolates You never know what kind of why are you going to get Easy with the rain dance. It's already pretty wet up here in the north part of the state

[@helenhancock7295]

Always good to see you out there getting those scrapes!

[@donnapadgett6583]

What a haul. 😅 great finds. God bless you and be safe 😊

[@gene_takavic57]

Dottie treats you right and she never complains. Lots of smalls on this run for the most part.

[@dagoverstreet8865]

Simple green, that’s good stuff.

[@jacobmckenna8282]

I love your videos now you have me scrapping on the side so that I could afford my hobby of collecting Hot Wheels

[@armorboy24]

bullet looks like a home made bottle opener, they have them pre made you can buy but looks like someone made one

[@ariesmariano4592]

Sa tuwing pinapanood ko Ang iyong video kaibigan Masaya ako

[@paulperry7091]

Mike should wear a raccoon costume for diving on Halloween. I'd pay to see that.

[@Jibbie49]

Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy

[@lanitaorjeraldlewisdillorl2258]

Great video Mike! 👍👍👍👍 Loved watching you & hearing your banter. ❤❤❤❤❤ May God Bless you & ALL of your loved ones ALWAYS! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@tinathompson2877]

I love it when they edit the videos, and add those little funny sounds in the background. Soooo funny!!!

[@rebacunningham3773]

Wow, alot of this and that, was tons of fun, thanks mike...😊😊😊

[@MrBLUEDEVILUK]

That bullet is a bottle opener. I have the exact same one! 😎👍🏻🍺

[@brucevallee5623]

You a crack me up when you find electronics in a box and open it and throw the manual away and say " what is this..what is it?" Lol

[@gatitaoso4443]

I will never understand, that is nice stuff thrown away!!!

[@bloodydemonwolff]

Crazy mike , but the saying is "gotta go a little crazy to keep from going insane" and sometimes a little crazy helps pay the bills

[@bloodydemonwolff]

Also Mike to you , looks like I might be working on getting me a 1975 Chevy c20 dually flatbed woodbed to turn into my own work truck/ scrap truck

[@metalchips]

Mike at 16:00 thats a cabinet key. You needed one of these for that big blue machine you disassembled earlier this year

[@susanmcintyre8383]

You crack me up playing with that cart😂😂😂❤

[@shqa574]

It was a hot wire day. 26:00 "Cheaper by the 100s!" I love the diverse scrap haul.

[@jaxkasedad4953]

Very nice Wilhelm scream sound effect. 😂

[@lilyrose3145]

You are funny Mike .Thanks for making my day.

[@davidgarcia6315]

That bullet looked like a bottle opener for a second there !!

[@josephcormier5974]

I love the way you always find tools it's awesome this was a great video thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother

[@dianaredlich2459]

Guter Job danke das du so viel Metall vor der Deponie rettest 🍀🙏✝️

[@danielsweeney6742]

All that pasta should have gone to a food warehouse.

[@AuburnBlue]

Damn Mike, I've been watching you for maybe 3-4 years now and your sense of balance still makes me cringe every time you walk an edge! 😮😮😮 LOL You ever tried tightrope? This scrap gig ever runs out, you can join Cirque du Soleil! 🎉🎉🎉

[@MrKrazeykat]

That key is for industrial electrical/electronics cabinets👍👍👍

[@danielsteward5090]

That key you found fits the locks on the doors on that Lazer box thing you stripped in that video a few months ago.

[@biancamalan7499]

Awesome finds Mike❤

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Thanks!!!

[@pbs4535]

Hey Mikey!!!! that’s not a jug of Lemonade nope it’s something else. 😱🤣

[@sharonromer6606]

Another great night 👍

[@struckbylightningteresap1396]

Nice job. Where I go rich people put nice stuff out in front of the dumpsters. I post the stuff and make a killing selling it. Unfortunately I only have a car but have gotten a lot of furniture I could fit in my car and sold for good money. I’ve sold rugs sinks, lamps, tables etc. I’ve made a killing on what I can fit in the car. I even got a grandfather clock that works that I kept. All prophet. I once had 10 people fight over gulf clubs, whoever got to me first I sold them. I love collecting other peoples trash, it becomes my spending money. 😊

[@user-zq3ql5re9h]

Love watching your videos Mike it's amazing how much scrap's and treasure you find in dumpsters

[@rustyrobinson8027]

Mike the scavenger is awesome 😎

[@Jens1406]

Du bist schon ein cooler und durchgeknallter Kerl. Deine Videos gefallen mir sehr gut und was ich an deinem Container so gerne mag, ist, du nimmst alles an Metall mit und lässt nichts liegen. Mach weiter so, ich schaue dir gerne zu. Top und Gruß aus Nord Deutschland 👍💥

[@charlesfiant7785]

Mrs scavenger gets rummage around in her box , that why you Mike the scavenger .

[@nevamo7820]

The age of reason begins... And it's in the trash. Have people given up? Or have they given in ??? 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@Sarah-rd1qy]

One of your funniest videos. I thank you, you are always a pleasure to watch. God bless you.

[@williamdawson3353]

You have too much fun!

[@paulbailey9658]

Bullet Bottle opener..Nice😊

[@s22366]

It would be cool to use the big spool as a table and the small ones as chairs!!

[@k.y.6148]

Good thing you couldn't hear me scream when you left all that pasta! I and my friends would have been stocked for months!

[@bengone3349]

As usual Mike, another fun run with some surprises.

[@TheNightowl001]

It would be interesting as heck to know just how much copper was in just all that gray extension wire, and how much you got for just that.

[@barbaranorrick4164]

Good morning Mike

[@jennxed1974]

Those canisters are good for storing nuts and bolts, thread and buttons. But even the newest ones sell on eBay for decent money

[@handlesRdumb]

The native figures look like Marx Toys from the Gunsmoke show. Might be worth fives of dollars
