The whole video is worth watching, but the theme starts at 2:55.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know the value of the Starrett surface plate and left it behind. :-(

Unreal what people throw away, just unreal. He had no idea about that surface plate, but I would bet after reading future comments he will learn about his mistakes.
Love the few tools he found.:)(y)(y)

I need to make friends with more guys that scrap. Offer them more than the yard so I can get some good stuff.

We had to lock our dumpster after hours to keep divers from making a big mess in the parking lot. Metal chips mixed in with floor dry, misc trash etc just thrown all over.

Yes that Starrett surface plate would have been a good score. Obviously the ones that discarded all the goodies had no idea the value of what they were tossing.
