Oh my goodness! Until one sees this you have no idea how hard you work. You work so hard for us to enjoy your videos. I appreciate all you do and all you're doing for the planet. Have a great 4th. Stay safe and GOD bless

[@DCHoosier62]

Sweet! Thanks for the update AND scrap run! You did pretty well! Have a great 4th. Be safe, and gobble till you wobble! Eat well from the cookout!

[@fredgillick3071]

Hey Mike, You and the wife and girls have a fantastic 4th. Take a break and throw some ribs on the grill amd relax. Take care and be safe.

[@paulamolano1896]

Mike you sort and get your scrap ready for the scrap yard the best way I’ve ever seen ! You are the best !

[@CoCoTheGeek1]

It satisfies my OCD! 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@bengone3349]

I'm a happier man watching your scrapping adventures, I'm smiling'!

[@karenthomas5410]

I've never seen anyone work as hard as mike does in a day...Hope your energy stays with you another 40 years...take care..

[@bbwachter]

Happy fourth Mike, on that six battery charger unit go grab a can of Brasso and a acid brush. Work it well into the contacts, with a spray bottle of water, with the unit upside down or better yet unscrew it and clean it that way from the bottom. Easy $50 I’ve been watching your scavenging for about a year. i’m in my mid-70s and a retired mechanical and electrical engineer. I love watching what you pick up and think that the items are I recognize probably 95 to 98% of the items. 25 year old history at a Children’s Hospital as the rehab engineer manager. The vacuum pumps that you uncover make excellent refrigeration evacuation pumps. All you need is the gauges and Wala an easy hundred dollars! pool acid and rust gone and 30 seconds. Coat with WD-40 and you have a perfectly working item. HAPPY SCAVENGING

Mike the Scavenger is the hardest working man in show business!

Hey, Mike! Thanks for teaching all of us new scrappers how to break down our scrap runs. We really appreciate all you do keeping us informed, entertained, and in the know! Awesome video

[@darrensmart5886]

Darren from England again really good episode can't wait till next time dumpster diving episode love watching the programme brilliant used to do a little bit myself years ago old change now good one might keep on scavenging

[@KaldiaGaurav]

I really like the way you did the scrap run because it gives us a real good idea of how much work you have to do after you bring it all home before you can turn it into money.

[@delaynejackson5449]

I love how organized you are when you take things apart. Keep up the great work!

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Fantastic Follow Up - You are soooooo Organized indeed - its a Pleasure watching You ! Trip to the Yard and Piano Mike - ha ! Not a bad Payday - shows You when You clean the Scrap up that You get a Better Price ! Well done and many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

[@thekingtroll2]

You played "Für Elise" at the end like a master pianist! Beethoven would have wept to hear you play that . It's my favorite tune to relax with. Your commentaries keep me coming back , well done.

[@marksmithson1414]

Always fun watching you do a scrap run.

[@kristywebb3471]

Hey Mike, good to see you and as always love the videos. Your wife has got to be one of the happiest women around. You are always out dumpster diving or curbside scavenging, outside getting scrap yard ready. You bring home the bacon and leave her alone. 🤣🤣 Have a happy and safe July 4th.

[@peachaf]

Great adventure as always Mike. Your videos are so exciting. I went out and found me a straw hat because of you. My is not as big enough coverage from sun. This Texas heat is brutal this year. Bless you Mike your hard work is a inspiration. Need more men like you. Their would be no lonely women😅!

[@leeberry6875]

Happy 4th July weekend Mike and family, can't wait till your back

[@lorijallan654]

Mike! It's time for another trip to the river! Keep up the good vibes!

[@AdamosDad]

Man Mike, what a worker you are. Keep after it bro and you will be living in that house on a hill.

[@HarveyWalbanger]

And just looking back at all the videos you have earned it no matter my opinion or whoever else you've been a positive in all your jocularity has made somebody laugh and when you make somebody laugh it opens their heart God bless you Mike

Never draw the grinder towards you- it will do the work for you going the otherway and you won't burn up blades so fast! Oh and the When Johnny Comes Marching Home tune was great!

You are awesome but by far the coolest thing about the whole video was the Ride the Lightning t-shirt! 👍

Very good editing and commentary. Your dumpster diving/ street pickups are fun to watch.

[@ajgonalez1876]

I was sad no guitar solo...then the piano came in and saved the day. 😁

[@charlesmichael5628]

Hey Mike, It's a lot better to go behind the metel on the coils it keeps the copper all together then just pull it off when your done. I do these all the time and pretty much have it down to a art.

[@jenesisjones6706]

I love how speeding up the video renders /mike doing a perfectly synchronised dance to the music!

If you use household vinegar you can clean up the corrosion on the contacts of the chargers. Workd on all types of battery contacts like flashlights, car battery etc.

[@douglasbishop3252]

Happy 4th of July Mike. I enjoy watching your videos and suggested to my female friend to watch them and she enjoys them also pierhead we love your jovial comments and like to watch what people throw away in the trash that could be recycled. I have a comment for when you're doing your coverage of what you collected when you're doing it on the back of the truck. Maybe you could consider putting your camera on something that's not on your body. A lot of times when you're looking around and showing all the different things it gets rather dizzy looking. If the camera wasn't on you but back enough where you could see everything you're doing it might make for a better shot. Just to comment

[@dalesmith147]

Question for you Mike. The central air units. They are aluminum copper rads. You cut the copper noodles off the outside of them. Then pull the steel plate off. That's a clean ACR. Did I hear you right, that your scrap yard don't buy them? Up here in Pennsylvania. We get good money for clean ACR's. If they don't buy them. You are getting screwed over on good money. Just wanted to let you know. Love your videos. Glad to see that you scrap out everything. Just like I do. Stay safe and keep em coming.

[@ANIMAL168]

Happy 4th, Mike. Awesome scrap run. Sorry that the prices are dropping. Benny

[@maddumass]

I turned in aluminum cans and got VidVulture prices. I looked like a clown with all those cans.

[@ANIMAL168]

@@maddumass it sucks, lol. But you do what you gotta do! I've done more and made less. I'm 65 and still walk my street and pick up cans. It's not alot, but it's cash.

The drill powered cutter freeing the plastic covering over the aluminum Romex cable took a lot of time like the car window lock boxes and AC cores. Separating the wheat from the chaffe must be done.

Funny part is you don't need an ac license to buy equipment. Home Depot and Goodman sell to everyone. You can get a freon license online for $25 though

With that hat Mike , I was waiting for some Mortal Combat music or sound effects LOL . Great cleanup .

[@kevinmonroe6769]

Hey Mike happy 4th brother curbside has always been good fur me on the holidays

[@gurubhat2403]

immerse rusted iron pieces (like the hammer you showed) in vinegar, salt, liquid soap solution for about 4-5 days. Every spec of rust will go away, looks brand new and you can just spray paint it and use it for years.

[@Jibbie49]

People who think they could do this with little effort, don't realize how hard you work.

[@lisauptagrafft2010]

Oh my gosh, I laughed like a 12 year old boy when you said that piece looks like tatas ! 😆🤣😂😆. ✌🏼❤️

That Bosch drill is for concrete and brick, looks like it’s working well

[@dianna3157]

Dang Mike, you're the hardest working man I've seen in a long time. There's nothing you won't do for some extra money and content for your videos, jumping in the nastiest dumpsters and lifting items that should take at least two grown men. Heck, you work harder in an afternoon than my husband does all month! And he makes bank as a blackjack dealer, and whines if he has to work his entire 8 hour shift (with a half hour break every two hours) 🙄 life isn't fair, or you and the girls would be living in your dream home on some acreage. Enjoy the 4th, and cuddle with the little ones that don't like the celebration nearly as much as the humans do. Cheers 🍻 I 💙 MTS! 🐼💪🧦🐶🐶

[@rabbithowls71]

You should contact one of the many restoration channels, and send some of those rusty tools. Would be interesting to see from dumpster to shiny and new again.

[@josephgillespie4654]

That’s a shame that they won’t buy the evaporator cores I’ve got a a/c unit that needs to be cleaned. The thieves ruined it for the honest people out there. It’s the same here with big a/c but you can scrap a window until with no problem. I do a little scrapping myself. But the prices are low yet here in Alabama. Keep up the good work and have a blessed weekend mike

[@adamlee3810]

That bigger electric motor you could break down in less than 10 mins and end up with close to 2lbs #2, some prepared steel, and aluminum. Definetly worth the little bit of extra time.
