A Quest for Rusty Gold

"American Pickers" follows a team of skilled antique "pickers" as they traverse the country in search of America's most valuable and historically significant relics.

The show's appeal lies not just in the fascinating items they uncover, but also in the colorful characters and compelling stories they encounter along the way.

More Than Just Antiques

While the pickers are always on the lookout for rare and valuable items, the show's mission goes beyond mere treasure hunting.

By rescuing and recycling forgotten relics, the team aims to preserve pieces of American history, giving new life to objects that might otherwise be lost to time.

Calling All Collectors

The show's producers are actively seeking leads from Minnesota residents who may have unique items or collections to share. They're particularly interested in:

• Historically significant objects
• Rare or unusual antiques
• Items with fascinating backstories

A Chance to Share Your Story
