I open some garbage plastic bags in dumpsters and found two gold bracelets, gold ring with stones and small golden earring. Best finds in winter 2015.

I honestly have to say dumpster diving has truly worked out great for us. the other day was my 1st go with my other half (whose been doing this for good while). So much found it would fill a book nearly. I dig up old stuff while he brings in the good stuff..lol. I will tell you this our first money maker he brought home was a half used bottle of Lemon Perfume.. Couldn't believe that bottle used would have ever brought in money at a time we needed it.. so now I make sure gloves and hand sanitizer are stocked up and ready every time he goes lol. good luck everyone on finding stuff, those who laugh and pass judgments on the dumpster divers beware cause its paying more than ur hourly pay on some days.. on the bright side not so much is being dumped in a land field.

Where do you all dumpster dive? I mostly frequent retail outlets to outfit our place. I have tried apartment dumpsters, but those usually turn up nothing for us.
