Trash picking million dollar homes

[@burnindaylighthomestead2977]

Love it. My brother and I use to do this same thing. It's worse than any drug you can do. Lol. The new stuff people throw away and like new is amazing. He's gone now and I'm to weak. He would have enjoyed your show. I sure do. Makes me wished he was still here. Thanks for the throw back. 💓

Sorry about your brother

[@darenkroon661]

Thats cool with yout son being in the Army. I'm very grateful for the young men serving. My son is in the process of joining right now. I did 18 years myself. Most it as a member of a Special Forces A-team. I was the explosives guy for the team and the team sniper. I had great time, now my son wants to do what his old man did. Much respect for to your son.

@@darenkroon661 both of grandfather's and 2 of my uncles served. 3 of them are now gone home to the Lord. My grandfather's both served in WWII. Every time I hear the 21 gum salute or TAPS I sob 😭. Its like being right back there in front of their coffins all over again each time. Not sure that feeling will ever go away. Im so very proud to be a granddaughter of not one but 2 WWII soldiers!! One of whom received the Purple Heart n Silver Star. He was a great man.

[@darenkroon661]

@@melissagardner6701 you have some great history and the genealogy of some amazing true Americans. What an honor for you to be able to call them family. My Grandfather was also in WWII. He was on the USS Enterprise. He was in every major battle in the Pacific after Pearl Harbor. He never talk about it. When he passed away I helped grandma with all his personal stuff we were amazed at what we found. Over his life he collected anything that had to do with the Enterprise. The thing is, no one knew not even grandma. He would purchase things in private and put it away with his stuff. We were a Navy family for the most part. Three uncles in Vietnam, two Navy and one in the Air Force. I have researched my family and we have had family members in every war this country has ever fought. We are very lucky in the fact that we have never lost one member of the family do to war.

A couple more pieces of gym equipment & you’ll be able to open your own Golds Gym Juan. Lol! I, myself, like the freedom of using the GoPro while you go out scavenging, because it shows the whole process of acquiring the items. We see the stuff in the daylight the next morning with the recap.

[@clarissahillenberg7040]

I love the monkey statue, he is so neat. It's amazing what people throw out instead of just, clean, recycle, donate. If there are stubborn spots on the ottoman/chaise cushion you can stain treat it with oxy clean solution and the scrub and rinse again and they should come out. They also sell sprays just to clean patio furniture and cushions. Nice finds. On your question of go pro versus iPhone, use whatever is most comfortable for you. It's easier for you to have both hands while picking. So maybe and external light for go pro or a hands free harness of some kind for the iPhone? Or just keep on doing what you are already doing.

[@TexanPicker]

They are bad! So wasteful

[@derealized797]

I have a few friends here who understand "dumpster diving" and how to find good stuff being thrown away. If you know the upper class areas, where people throw away leather couches just because they're remodeling and don't like the color or it doesn't match. You find everything, lawnmowers get tossed, because they need something stupid like a spark plug. Usually not too old either. Some things are more seasonal though. Like we filled a truck with old grill covers once, all that aluminized adds up fast. Or they throw away cans because they don't care about a few nickles. Made our drive worth it. Then there's businesses, sometimes offices do upgrades. You can find dumpsters full of old computers and other electronics. Only better than this is doing estate clean out, when you actually get paid to go through a house and pick through everything and either throw it away or put it aside. It's just mind blowing what gets thrown away though. And what's expensive new technology today, is in the dumpster tomorrow. Obsolete or not, it's not always garbage.

[@mamisregia4316]

Always pickup garden sets they always wanted 👍😃

[@diedratrivino9722]

I literally could use almost everything that you looked at.

[@darenkroon661]

I like the weight for the clock. It looks like one that I need. I actually need two of them. I think they would work on my Eli Terry clock. It's about 200 years old and is made of all wooden parts. Eli Terry was a famous inventor who established mass production of clocks in the early 1800's. I need the weights in order to complete my clock and they are not easy to find.

19:53 that is a very old blow torch. You will find that the the ammo tin, old fuel tin (which is probably for the blow torch and lamp) and the tilly lamp (rusty green light) are worth the most because people collect that stuff. Maybe try to restore the lamp a bit though as that is some serious rust. A power washer will get that green mildew off the cushion too. A quick spray with stain remover, leave for 10 mins and then power wash...GONE! :) LOTS of really great finds there my friend, I wish you well.

[@whimsicalgolde]

I do the same thing, my mom calls me to help her take something home. She calls me, and I go. Me and my brother just move it home if it is big. I look out the windows after a storm, or flood. Some items are not water damaged. We give it away, my mom and aunt know people who need it.

That weight goes on the long bar thing, it's a weight measure. I want to say it weighted bags of cotton that people picked in the fields. It hung from a post and you could weigh what ever ..corn , etc. There was several weights that went with it. I'm sure you could find on ebay. Ice tongs.
