Dumpster Diving "It's Got Money In 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!

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.

[@davepitts1340]

[@davefave4351]

[@satanloses]

“Watch ya Head “ 😂 Mike I got 14 shoes and 347 lbs lol 😂 I tried to jump on hook holder on side of dumpster and hop in . Lol 😝 either my size or 56 years old I couldn’t do it 😂

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Well now… I try. Thank you!!!

[@ScrapPalletMan]

Hey hey Mike! Few years ago I found a cash register with money in it. So glad I I made a video of it. Golden.

[@Dead-Dog-Rising]

The best part of waking up is wishing the scavenger luck! ☘️☘️

[@tylorevans]

Nice haul Mike congrats a litte cash register tip If you cant unlock the cash register most cash registers will have a manual release switch for the cash drawer its on the bottome of the cash register towards the back it should pop the drawer open working as a cashier in the past has taught me a few tricks including geting to the money tray diuring a power outage.

[@SouthOfGate]

Your energy and talk tonight was off the hook! Totally dug it ‘cuz you dig it for all of us.

[@MikeTheScavenger]

I appreciate that!

[@z4u68]

Outlook a fellow r***** praising his fellow r*****

[@gracieloohoo9738]

Never in a million years did I ever think I'd be so excited to see a new video of someone digging in dumpsters lol. But I LOVE it. Best channel on KZbin Mike!

[@TK-eg6vp]

What a great way to start my Saturday; a hot cup of coffee and a Mike the Scavenger video...

[@bulletsonofagun7413]

Simply the best morning coffee entertainment ever.

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

Mike gets me motivated to fill up my truck to turn in my scrap. It takes me a little longer because I break down everything to maximize my return. I have several 100 pounds of aluminum to turn in... Probably a whole truck load of just that!

[@Ninja-Mama]

Most cash registers have a button, switch on the bottom at the back. It’s there in case the drawer jams and that’s not like the jam we see Mike do at the scrap yard! 🤣😂

[@robinmooney4767]

The cash register drawer should have a release lever on the bottom. Becareful when trying to open the drawer it can pinch.

[@marshadavenport5715]

Watching Mike playing with a horsie just made my day.

[@genilscosta3764]

Pena que ele não levou .

[@randallknowles9240]

Mike you are a dumpster-diving Tasmanian Devil and I mean that as a compliment. You really tear it up out there in the urban jungle. I cannot believe the amount of energy and the immense amount of calories you burn up digging through all of that trash. You should be proud of how hard you work and all of the good you are doing by recovering valuable metals and keeping it out of the landfill. Keep up the good work!

[@brysp1dey]

The thermalake is a fancy computer case. Instead of computer components being inside a case, this case exposes all the internals, making for a visually attractive computer.

[@donnapadgett6583]

Really enjoyed your video 😅. God bless you and yours 😊

[@ronbateman941]

Another good night of scavenging for the treasures. Thank you Mike scavenger.

[@DCHoosier62]

Wow! I can’t wait to see what’s in that register. 😳 pretty good haul as well. Stay safe out there.

[@rebeccawebster3556]

Those stackable metal stools are over $100 each new & very sellable. Same with that black metal chair! The cash register will have a hole in the bottom to pop the drawer open after you unlock it. Definitely some cool finds tonight!!

[@lizardhollow]

Your fans know that with all you have going on that you’ve got to be exhausted… we are praying you have strength and endurance to get you through the move and the making of these videos. Stay strong Mike! We are not exactly in the bin with you but we are with you in ❤️.

[@irvanbhara4866]

Im from Indonesia, i like your Vidio

[@janetgasper9580]

There might be a button under the cash register to release the drawer. It will be towards the back. Great finds tonight

[@benk1390]

mike, make sure to check the bottom of the cash register, there is usually a long hole in the bottom with a release lever for the cash drawer.

[@anndefauw1161]

Very cool I like the night owls 🦉 stay safe stay blessed stay amazing 👏 🙏

[@leeales63]

Awesome! Scavenger time!

[@johnnyross3340]

You just know things are good when Mike pops up on the screen....ATB.

[@Azoreanislandgirl64]

Urban Jungle Scrapping at its best.

[@robertsalido1232]

Onkyo AV Receiver is a 600$ Unit,, looks like it's in excellent shape.Those aluminum stools go for 120$ a piece. Great finds.

[@caroleconlan3884]

You don't have to break it open. Plug it in, there should be some kind of release button underneath the register that will open the drawer.

[@trasieinkersole491]

Love it. Thanks Mike for taking us all with you. ❤️💙

[@ferrera2023]

Hello. Saludos desde Argentina

[@ferrera2023]

Un tipaso

[@kilowattrob]

warm and fuzzy ... ohh yea!

[@billmiller4028]

Take your magnet apart and add some more magnets to each side, glue them in. You'll be amazed by how much better it will work.

[@y.lelivelt2619]

I like the small stools.they come in handy all the time.

[@scottrunnels3958]

I found a double drawer clover pos system with 2 cash drawers in a curbside find. One drawer had 68.00 and the other 77.00 in change and bills . Crazy stuff learned it all from Mike the Scavenger!!!!

[@gazb87yorkshiresalt48]

Dotties gonna have some nice bass when you hook up the subwoofers Mike!

[@ariesmariano4592]

Very very nice video idol mike

[@cheangyookmei789]

I am watching my country election result when your notification came in..turn over to watch your video 🙂

[@YoutubeStakeHolder]

I quit watching those when I found out the CIA was involved with a operation Mockingbird

[@retiredyeti5555]

Those metal stools are great - yard sale material! Your style of scavenging brings back memories of me digging in stuff at the curb, about 20 or 30 years ago! Ain't much of that happening at 79, though!

[@corrinnacase9233]

Good morning, can't wait to see what's in register 🤔🥰❤️

[@sharonromer6606]

Loved those chairs.

[@MrStacygordon]

Mike underneath the register in the back there is a lever to open the drawer.

[@d.t.4523]

Keep warm. Good luck! 👍

[@martinmcdonald3044]

Most cash registers have a emergency release button on the back of the register or underneath them

[@ppshale7223]

Mike Mike Mike!!! Out there saving us all one scrap load at a time !!! That was a nice metal chair and stools !!! So much saved from the landfill ! Stay safe stay great !!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Clean Metal Drums for Your new Set-Up at the NEW House ! Great Dumpster Finds and a Cash Register - how much Money inside - ha ! Magnet Fishing for Smalls ! Hey another Successful Evening - we enjoyed the Video ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

[@robertsmith7580]

Those barrels are a nice find for a scrapper !

[@sopa2636]

Not gonna lie this man's energy makes me have motivation!

[@NikoIreland]

There is a little hole underneath,at the back of the cash drawer. No need for a key . You just need to push a little piece to the side. And it will open. Enjoy

[@cyndicunanan400]

Anyone else start humming the bass line opening to Money by Pink Floyd when he started shaking that cash register?

[@dannyphillips2133]

Wow that solid core door would make great garage or storage space desk top for heavy stuff

[@colinbrewhaha]

Good morning!

[@juliesheahan7844]

I get so excited just to see what you'll find and the all the funny things you say to the dumpsters and the stuff you find. 😆😆

[@RonHicks]

Always enjoy and episode of Mike The Scavenger after work and enjoyed some pot roast 😀

[@lilyrose3145]

Woooooow coooool stuff today.

[@thekingtroll2]

Wow nice stackable garage stools. Those are probably under $100 each new. I've been looking for a few for my garage and couldn't decide to get them or ones with a back on them. I might just build a wooden bench for people to sit down on. That's the beauty of your video's. Everything is unique and we never know what you will find but it is like riding along with you each time. Thanks for the video!!

[@jayneshorter5418]

Had some good things there Mike nice one with cash till❤😊

[@warehouseman6325]

[@scottbormann2765]

[@tomaskruparsa7391]

[@joseluistabares3184]

Great video 📹. You're always finding very good scrap and goodies.

[@annalynncabinbabiesnursery9984]

It seems like these videos last about 5 minutes, you are so fun to watch ☺️ hope you have a great thanksgiving 🦃

[@roseirvin3567]

look under the register there is a lever that will open it when its not plugged up

[@mariewintersteen7098]

The gray stools would make great bar stools!

[@esperanzaluquelopez5961]

Muy buena pesca otra vez , bendiciones desde España 🇪🇸.

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Saludos y gracias

[@judyfriday1422]

I had a cash register once and it had a latch under the bottom that opened the drawer.

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

The thing you called a shaft is a trailer axle!👍😁

[@jm823]

Nice video Mike and that receiver looked legit!!

[@murlbailer3755]

I HEAR $ bills the 1st & 3rd of every month. Ching! I’ve got 3 tv’s to strip, down till there’s nothing left but plastic. Since I work from my small apartment this can be a daunting task sometimes. Thank You Mr. Do It All. 🐎🌻✌️

[@ANIMAL168]

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Boy, did you prove that. Awesome run.

[@dannyburleigh1]

At 3:20!= ALL OF THAT STUFF is for growing WEED!!

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

Those stools and chair are nice pieces! Good for the garage, or to sell... But definitely not scrap!

[@vivianbrett3782]

Thank you

[@cherylhuot4436]

Always makes me smile when I see a new MTS video has been posted! Thanks for all the fun and hard work you share with us.

[@Jibbie49]

Mike, you keep us wantin' more.

[@baerbelhagenstein4254]

Mike, you are the man, very entertaining. Love every video!

[@franny607]

Mike you're funny💕

[@michaelmount76]

Another great video mike thank you

[@homersreluctantodyssey2508]

[@CMDR_Scorpion]

The "Thermaltake" item is an open style pc case/chassis :)

[@Hacksaw37]

It's always a good day when Mike's on the prowl.

[@pauldunne2344]

Enjoy the holiday, Rest & Relax with Loved One's. Be Safe Greetings from Dublin

[@SmakMyBishup]

[@Mile_by_Mile]

The fart during "magnet time" had me LMFAO!!!!!

[@pbs4535]

Hey MIKEY!!! do a follow up on the cash register. 🤣👍🏼 we will be watching for the video.

[@suewilliams2880]

nice to see you out diving i love it i love how do things and the way yout talk kicking banging love it all keep coming yall

[@tommynoel9929]

Dumpster punch engaged. 👊

[@scrapitaus]

The thermaltake thing the back side of a chunky computer case

[@iancorbett1808]

Hi Mike u make me laugh u r the best luv your videos keep up the good work 😃😃😃

[@alive.off-grid]

Almost electric registers, there is a round hole where you can push a pencil in and pop the drawer open where the receipts come out lift that lid look on the back side inside and you will find the miracle hole.

[@debbielance3892]

As always awesome video!!! Hope you hit the jackpot with the cash register. Pets for the doggies. 🙂👍🙂

[@CrimFerret]

I think that Thermaltake item is a test bench for testing computer components. They make switching out components fast since there's no case involved. Somebody might want that for more than scrap value.

[@josephhodges9819]

Nice barrels, I bet they come in handy.

[@mikethompson4518]

Another good video

[@ClamHammer690]

Can't wait to see what's in the register

[@jeffbelcher4646]

Always great way to start a Saturday buddy!! Watch your Head

[@dawnwilkinson8717]

Thank you for sharing your nights work you always make me laugh.

[@brianr101010]

The black "thermaltake" item is an open chasis computer "case" possibly with a thermaltake power supply mounted in it.

[@grumpysgarage7276]

I enjoy your videos. I watch them all the time, especially when I can't sleep. I've been curious, do you do this full time. Your a really smart and knowledgeable person

[@davidayers4057]

Hi Mike, hope the move went well. Keep on scrapping, looking forward to the grand reveal on the cash register.
