American Pickers is an American reality television series that premiered on January 18, 2010, on History channel, and produced by A&E Television Networks, in collaboration with Cinefix Productions.
One of A&E®'s most loved series returns for more artefactual excitement! In small towns and along America's back roads, treasures are waiting to be uncovered; valuable relics from our history that are hidden in junk piles, buried in barns and stacked in garages. It takes experts to find them…and turn rust to riches. American Pickers follows two of the most skilled “pickers” – Mike Wolfe, owner of Antique Archaeology, and his business partner, Frank Fritz – as they hunt down objects with historical, collectible and pop culture value that have been long forgotten by their owners. Along the way, they meet people whose own stories open a window into American lives and history. This collection of American Pickers sees Mike and Frank scour an extraordinary New Jersey collection of Civil War relics at bargain basement prices, they also uncover a meteorite in Texas and later come across a vintage Vespa in Italy.
