American Pickers

American Pickers is a documentary reality show from the History Channel that follows the co-owners of Antique Archaeology, Iowa’s own Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, as they travel the back roads of America searching for hidden gems in piles of junk. Following their own intuition or the lead of friend Danielle from Antique Archaeology headquarters, the men go on search of anyone owning a pile of overlooked keepsakes that would be willing to part ways with a few - for a price. The Pickers fund their trips by turning trash to treasure - restoring the best of these pieces and flipping their finds for a profit. However, the money is only part of the pleasure for these Pickers - climbing mountains of rusty junk and towers of trinkets in search of that one perfect piece is what makes Mike and Frank happy. The eccentric individuals they meet, as well as the artifacts they find, all have unique stories that help tell a part of American history. Join Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, co-owners of Iowa's Antique Archaeology, as they travel country roads looking for relics in piles of junk and earning their nicknames - the American Pickers. MORE
