Dumpster Diving "The Taste Of Money"

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. Be sure to stay subscribed to stay up to date with my latest expeditions, y'all!

Scrap Run For This Video Below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJCaqHanaLWVfas

[@gloriabreznik]

Dont swear when its heavy please.

[@JillUdart]

Mike - every time you jump out of those open tops, my hip replacement screams!! Take it easy on those feet, knees and hips !! You will feel it in about 10 years!!

[@chadnielsen4673]

I think that everytime he does it

[@stevebrown3159]

Hey Mike, thanks for the great videos. I don't know if you'll actually read this because this posting isn't exactly brand new but... that stuff that looks like corrugated roofing is actually used to pour cement on in multi-story structures. I'm writing this as you're recovering from your surgical procedure. Good luck with the healing my friend. And remember, It may be true that your body is your temple but even temples need a little work every once in awhile.

[@cawierin411]

Nearly choked on my egg roll when the tomato cage stole stick. Omg too funny

[@lanna7917]

I wonder how his knuckles feel after punching the karate proof glass?

[@LizaTerraASMR]

U ok

[@cawierin411]

Yeah I'm fine

[@LizaTerraASMR]

@@cawierin411 good :)

[@scottyevans5206]

Mike I'm your biggest fan love the videos wish I could go dumpster diving with you one night your videos get me through tough times I have alot going on in my head and it takes over until I watch one of your vids the I feel calm thanks

[@jamesfrank7]

Poor Dotty !! Getting shrapnel wounds tonight from that aim, might need to give her some TLC soon Mike 😂👍🏻

[@unklejohn8575]

“I hear thunder.” Then proceeds to grab a metal stick and lifts it in the air. LOL

[@macgyver2417]

Mike keep a spare knife in Dottie & youll always have 1 close. Good video. Stay safe.

[@Krawlergarage]

Mike every time you launch something into Dottie. It’s a thrill. I always say SCORE!!! It would probably freak someone if they didn’t see you and something just flew out the dumpster and landed in Dottie.

[@lindseymaggot4042]

"Imma save my back this time" Proceeds to use ax, using back, arms, shoulders.

[@lanna7917]

Ha ha ha Mike is a paradox in a good way.

[@raymorgan5767]

Now that was funny!!!! The dumpster grabbed your stick!!! Priceless!!!

[@edwincox5720]

Those gray panels are either painted galvanized aluminum or steel. Can either be roofing or siding. I loaded trucks for a company that made stuff like that in my younger days.

[@majorwayne9866]

1:58 haha Okay, okay, Okay! The phrase formerly known as Alright, Alright, Alright! 😂

[@loyalistu.y.m]

That other scrapper turning up just proves the point that you have to take what you can when you can

[@beardedscrapper538]

The wife and i were scrapping in a neighborhood I haven't been to in a while. And turned the corner. And there was a scrapper there. Cool to see other scrappers out there.

[@joelm2692]

Def loled when u threw the snippets at the cab of the truck...

[@ratdetecting4780]

When saw those stainless doors, had an omg moment from last time. Lots of awesome scrapity scrap😂

[@ghostedintheecoboost2.798]

When you see an open top, you gotta stop! Great line...new shirt idea?!

[@jameshubbard4563]

Don’t know why I watch your videos, but it’s something I wish I could do now. Good luck

[@terryhenson6726]

I thought i was going to see a scraper standoff. lol

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Man, i wish we had pallets like those noce ones being thrown away here. I would have loads of good lumber.

[@arnaldacarvalho4661]

Chinês a comer

[@steverobinson7653]

Don't forget your metal wall studs😄

[@alvinspence9472]

A good rule of thumb, if it's in a dumpster, it's fair game. Grab the dolly.

[@patjannarone3769]

Good lick with the corrugated roofing metal deck. That crap is sharp and unforgiving. So are those screws that are in some of it/ Keep diggin'' bro.

[@johntopshelf2996]

Keep hitting that stuff Your Friend Topshelf John

[@slawkowegrzyn2115]

[@marksmith7365]

[@delfimpereira]

[@VibinBryan]

"when you see an open top man you gotta stop" thats a tshirt right there!

[@K4KGamingandshenanigans]

Sup diggy smallz :) back in my fay i always painted "maintenance" on both bed sides and on the tailgate to make it look like i was supposed to be there. Just a thought to consider. Keep the videos coming my friend :)

[@johnthompson3253]

Never parks next to the dumpster, loves throwing 12 feet🤣 enjoy watching more than Netflix

[@Albert87nl]

That Axe work was pretty cool!

[@chiellotermohlen866]

Happy 2022

[@talondavid9408]

"get the gettings while the gettings are good" ... tee shirt idea !!

[@dixiepittenger3960]

Awesome video

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

[@johnmorack7619]

Time to invest in a cordless sawzall Mike!

[@tom_hd_3k323]

I like your videos mega and I hope you keep doing so your videos are better than tv 😂👌🏻

[@cleughy8736]

Definitely hit the jackpot there with that load Mike.

[@murlbailer3755]

That pipe alone makes scrap yard worth while.

[@VirgilNewsome]

Those pieces of sheet metal are for pouring cement on forms with space underneath. Not sure of the exact name but they are used in building multi-level buildings and such. We use it to do porches where I live.

[@davidsutherland667]

Mike you should have a drill and whatever you think tool wise is important to have, and keep a set of them on your truck at all times.

[@marteedecastelar]

👊🤣🤣😁💪 saludos desde Castelar-Argentina 🇦🇷👋

[@tmacdonald4362]

Mike, if you park close to the dumpster then you can use your vehicle to help get into and out of the dumpster and it will be close to put your finds in the back!

[@larryd4352]

Mike...you ought to look into those shoes that advertise here on KZbin ....I am pretty sure they're called "Indestructible." They look pretty nice and really made well. You almost filled Dottie totally to the top! All that roof metal and the pipes!! Lordy...that was a lot of stuuufff!! Look forward to the run to the scraping place.

[@ltshroyer_hoosiermagnets8173]

Great video!! I love it when you find open tops!!! 😀👍

[@RavenCajun]

Did you have a blow out in your shoe there Mike? Nice yellow tape detailing! 👍👌🤣💛

[@luckylinda63]

Nice finds as always 👌 Enjoy your contents. Stay warm and safe☺

[@rebacunningham3773]

Your so brave, still did a good haul thanks mike..😊😊

[@italosipiran9984]

Mike i like your videos. Also i enjoy watching your videos.👍

[@msacco175]

Love the hit noise

[@philbartoli2011]

Nice work looking forward to the scrap run

[@dastofer]

Drill, saws all, extra batteries, knife , tools of the trade.

[@luvambrosia]

Thank you for working smarter not harder....Dottie looks good in Ketchup.

[@robertmann7277]

Mike- I know you don't like the metal wall studs- but if you were to get alot together and bend them in half ( use the protrusion on the dumpster ), would they still blow away? You could sister them

[@MommaOG]

Mike being a Beast with that Ax😂😎🤟

[@northerntess]

Mike absolutely love your videos!!!

[@jameswirth7799]

Some of his videos I have watched makes me think. Why doesn't he pull his truck closer to the dumpster ?always work smarter not harder. He does make me laugh.

[@talondavid9408]

he does have buckets stored he could use to place the small stuff into =0)

[@AIvey]

You need to add light to back of truck for night picks.🚛

[@handyhippie6548]

those small empty wire spools are too useful to leave in the dumper. they're really handy for storing garden hoses, extension cords and air hoses. i have about half a dozen of them i use for just those reasons. it also makes hauling and using them on the jobsite a lot easier. i just make a letter G shaped bail from rebar for them so they are easy to carry, and make a handle out of a bolt and some pvc pipe on the open end to hold while i wind and unwind the things on them. my lady used to put her christmas lights on them so they didn't morph into a ball of evil when they weren't being used.

[@husky500cr]

Mike is working hard for his money

[@sabrinamiceli1337]

Mike great score on metal. U did great have a great weekend

[@christinelowery6195]

Got to love those open tops.

[@SuperScoob25]

Your socks are cool haha 😂,that how 2020 is going for everewone xD

[@billhanson3520]

Looks like them metal panels are the same material they use to cover windows during the hurricane. Looked to be cut in to window size, other than a roofing size.

[@mattparker9726]

as a former homeless person, it hurts when Mike passes up food.

[@aztexadventure2518]

Mike, suggestion, get a really strong magnet and use it a a rope to make your truck do the work pulling out those heavy fire doors.

[@ansehorste5974]

hi from germany, again, hope ya doing fine, dont forget folks wah those hands, stay healthy.

[@frankforrest1597]

Awesome haul again Mike. I be all jelly 👍✌👊

[@Maccoye]

Mike, the mic is toasted ! Maybe because of that Mike Rowave you found on the curb ;) thx for sharing

[@elizabethmason1296]

You found a dolly for your Dottie haha

[@dericbarnwell1477]

"GOTTA BE STRONG" ? BUT HAS NIGHTMARES WITH DOORS...HAHA

[@donnapadgett6583]

Great finds, enjoyed your video 😅. Be safe and God bless

[@leonardtreadway7082]

Here's mikey!😉 savage scraping

[@sassycrafterfromalabama2373]

Great Haul!!! I would never find a dolly that wasn't broken. Did you get the nail dryer?

[@derbyjohn1258]

Mike with axe omg😂😂

[@RockinRob69]

*I would invest in those non-slip shoes that are inpenetrable, for all the jumping into unknown dumpsters you do.....maybe even gloves as well. You don't wanna be on the opposite end of a knife, rusty nails, sharp metal, glass, or whatever looms in the bottom of those things. Don't say I didn't warn ya!*

[@talondavid9408]

that guy is a cat.. light foot and always on the prowl for scrappity scrap scrap. =0)

[@rickylangley8690]

When you were throwing that black pipe in your truck i keep waiting for the sound of your back glass busting

[@ariesmariano4592]

Your vdeo is so awesome

[@Dead-Dog-Rising]

Mike the scavenger turns to mike the tornado chaser? 🤣✌

[@mr_jake.y8348]

Mike don't make things hard on your self. Take care homeboy.

[@normajeancaballero7959]

17:10 "When you see an open top ya gatta stop". 🛑🛑💲♻️💲🛑🛑

[@bottlebadger]

Do you ever get shops leaving the scrap at the side of the bins for you

[@EMDFAST]

hello ... mike greetings and congratulations from Chile

[@peakyparttimers9362]

Its Johnny!. Sorry its Mikey!👍🤑

[@jadrewscrapper8081]

That style of hand truck (dolly) is a lower end home or small office type. I bet you anything someone upgraded to a more heavy duty, industrial hand truck and decided to toss the old one.

[@Angels65-m8e]

Do you ever go to bed and dream about the dumpster? 😂

[@raymorgan5767]

Keep up the great work!! Way to many stuck up haters out here and hopefully not there in texas!!!

[@luke_mma_love]

are those big old hinges on those doors brass as well?

[@youdontknowme5969]

you made some noise in this video 😈 I like that just don't hurt Dottie LOL

[@beardedscrapper538]

Corrugated roof. Probably added some roof top HVAC units.

[@walterfrancis7962]

Take it. Dollie go bye bye👍

[@walterfrancis7962]

🤫

[@laurawrona7961]

I keep thinking Mike has a gym membership that pays him its the scrappers plan lol just gotta be careful not to lift beyond your ability. lol

[@victorrobinson9116]

Lots of plastic bottles too !

[@davidschank956]

Get it mike.! Get it.

[@cindicusimano5674]

That looks like toilet paper rolls on your socks! 🌸kindness matters🌸

[@HUSTLERS1]

Good money

[@mrkipling2201]

I was saying to my screen “ put all the snippets in a box !!”

[@mrkipling2201]

Consciously Aware good evening. It certainly has thankfully. I’m glad Mike is ok and he dodged the hurricane there’s been quite a few lately. Hope you are ok.

[@mrkipling2201]

Consciously Aware I totally agree with you. It’s always a good pick me up when I watch one of Mike’s videos. Take care of yourself.

[@graciescott8034]

Here's Johnny!
