Dumpster Diving "How Y'all Like Them Apples???"

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!

THIS SHOW IS SO FRIGGIN COOL AND MIKE IS SO MAGIC I LOVE THIS GUY BIG HI FROM AUSTRALIA MEL.

[@philwebb2177]

I agree Mike is cool but he is hard-headed. He won't buy a trailer. Everybody reading this, please tell Mike to buy a trailer. If you do, then I will call on the "Four Winds of Esther'" to bless you and all your friends.

[@kampferbigo]

25 years of service. “That’s all they gave you”?? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ellenuren3518]

Love watching your videos they make my anxiety and panic attacks might be so bad because I don’t think about you make me laugh and just makes everything better. Keep up. Keep showing your videos. They do help us that don’t get out. You always make me smile

[@Frogdog0007]

Same. Hope you're well

[@jamisonallen8710]

As someone with horrible anxiety, you ever try getting off of social media/the internet all together for awhile it does wonders!

[@dianewilliams1125]

Looks like I'm not alone with all these issues. Mike does take me away from crap for a while. Stay safe!😊😊😊

Or you could try acting like an adult? We have it easier than humans have for thousands of years. Grow up.

[@annmccaffrey7900]

Anyone else laughing their butt off as Mike digs into that Good Luck Tub otherwise known as a birthing babies at home tub. 😂😂

[@person86422]

Lol I came to say the same thing. You couldn't pay me to dig in that thing.....if it was used.

[@charliedecoste2935]

Black things are brackets to make louvered fences for privacy. So you can open or close the slats depending on what you want

[@blaaaaaaarrrrr]

6:48 I'm glad you didn't leave this cool old box in the dumpster. There's always people who like stuff like that. Including me. 😊

[@AurigaMV]

It's amazing how much stuff you can find! Those wires and tools look promising. Do you think you'll be able to fix anything up?

[@lindaswanson9328]

Nice job, Mike! You never cease to amaze and also make me smile.😊 Peace out.✌🏽

[@MelindaWilliams-us8ur]

Have a blessed day Mike

[@shanepoindexter2644]

Yeah!! Love a good follow up!!!

[@rob13854]

Mike, please take all those watches, jewellery etc to a reputable antique dealer to have them appraised, the pin that you said “looks like a pin with something “ actually looks like a gentleman’s stick pin and it is possibly a diamond in it. The pocket watches look like they are gold and silver and the rings definitely have value. Being a retired Antique dealer they all caught my eye, so I don’t want to see you miss out on a decent pay day by selling them off cheaply. I know in Australia the pocket watches are very highly valued as collectables. Now I’m going back to watch the rest of the video. Regards from your friend in Australia 🇦🇺, Rob T

[@rastaralph7154]

@7:28 something fell out of the box on the ground. I hope you seen it and picked it up 👍💚💛❤️

The challenger items are brake calipers covers

[@WarhavenSC]

Ah. I thought maybe fender pieces for an Indian Challenger motorcycle.

[@justinalias2279]

How much do you think the caliper covers are worth? I wonder how much of this stuff is worth reselling rather than scrapping it out

[@robertgorman5622]

You beat me to that answer

[@markcarlson4536]

I love watching Mikes excitement when he hits a wire score!! As always, Looking forward to the follow-up video!!

Mike: “How’s everyone doin today?” Me: “I’m depressed.” Mike: “Awesome!”

[@ronbateman941]

Another good hall for the scavenger. I’m gonna enjoy this video Mike many times. You have so many that I have to watch the reruns to make sure that I seen them three or four times. I wish I could dumpster dive 72 if I got in a dumpster I probably couldn’t get out. Stay safe don’t let the Popo bite.

[@colindavies4860]

Now that some treasure you’ve found Mike

[@tanyasydnor8189]

Thanks Mike for another great haul. 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@patjohnson9287]

What a great hall! Love it when that happens!

[@moohollow8133]

7:27 something fell out of the box with the service pins!! It's still there later, too, so I think MTS missed it. Dern! might still be there.... Also, Dude, I'm old and my knees take a hit every time you jump down from those taller dumpsters. I used to do it, too, so I know you feel strong, but your knees will tell the tale in your later years. Everyone, be kind to yourself now, while you still feel good!

[@tonya4417]

I broke my hip when I was 33. I had my first hip replacement a year later. 13 1/2 years later and I was at Lowe's Hardware with my MIL and was putting a chainsaw from the cart into her car, when I pivoted It popped out of the socket. Talk about pain. After several attempts to pop it back in and it coming out again, I eventually got a new hip replacement. I worry about Mike every time I see him jumping from the dumpsters knowing that later on in life, it's going to take a toll.

[@simodo11]

Got to say Mike ,your videos are cool ,I’m from the UK ,and I love your voice and humour ,like a lot of people on here ,it really helps with my anxiety ,and relaxed”s me totally . Keep up the good work ,and my god you do work hard doing this .

[@ANormalPlayerBP]

"Could probably be fixed up huh? Maybe?" *CRASH*

[@OriginalNethead]

06:15 DINGDINGDING! Somebody tossed all of Grandpa's treasures. I'd have just grabbed the whole bathtub and gone on home. Gold-filled isn't worth a pile, but some old pocket watches..whoooooee. Grandpa's junk came good!

[@blaaaaaaarrrrr]

Same here. Those things might not be worth a fortune. But there's always people who like this old stuff.

[@melin1969]

dont tell streetips gold filled isnt worrth much )

[@rainbowwillow63]

I was yelling don't throw it all over the place! 😂

[@boogerhooks]

Many corporate anniversary pins are 10k gold or better. That Texaco pin should be either 10K or 14K gold.

[@gottabeshari13]

It's a birthing tub guys, best to leave it there.

[@agnesmalloy7384]

That was a nice little tune Mike.😂😂

[@billoc1255]

Well, I can't say that "I've always wanted a urinal." I've always wanted an old muscle car, a million dollars. When I was a small child I wanted a pony... But I guess everyone is different. You still ROCK, MTS !!

The track at the start of the video is used for slatwall. When the tracks are used, they increase the strength of the slatwall and protects the crappy wood from the hooks.

So good! Thanks, Mike!❤

The Challenger are Brake caliper covers made by a company in California. The company name is called MGP Caliber Covers and they make for all types of cars and trucks. And they are not cheap.

[@lauraj.4721]

I always enjoy your scrapping but I really like when you find personal stuff. Especially when it appears vintage

[@eileenfalcon7635]

That wheelbarrow is fixable. Being the woodworker you are piece of cake

[@albertoramos1180]

Looking forward to your follow up video. God bless & stay safe out there Mike.

[@empoweredliving_23]

What's up, my brotha Mike. Have a wonderful diving, God bless you 🙏

[@rob13854]

Having now watched the whole video I just want to add to my previous comment. Thank you once again, Mike for keeping us all entertained with your adventures. You really help me to cope with my PTSD and Depression with your funny comments and just by being yourself, it’s a refreshing change to watch someone who really enjoys what he does and loves to share his experiences with others. Keep up the great work! Love you mate, regards from your friend in Australia 🇦🇺, Rob T

[@grouptherapy812]

Mike, funny thing. I live in Florida. The time pieces and crap jewelry, and that cool box, were my grandfathers. He passed 12 years ago, and I acquired it afterwards. I put it in a shed in the back yard for a few months. The shed was broken into, and a bunch of things were stolen, including my lawnmower, and some tools. Enjoy your finds, my friend. I'm not interested in them anymore, because of the way they were lost, and the years gone by. Strange how it wound up in Texas in a dumpster. God bless you, Sir Mike.

[@lanna7917]
