    In one posted on Thursday, Mike , 60, and Jersey Jon , real name Jon Szalay, 60, headed out to California in the hopes of finding some precious antiques.

    During a visit with a seller, the two TV stars spotted an old motorcycle on top of a pole.

    It immediately caught their eyes and wanted to get it down for further inspection before making an offer to purchase.

    In a confessional, Jon said, “This four-cylinder motorcycle is one of the rarest motorcycles in the world.

    “We’re not gonna walk away from this chassis on a pole!”

    ‘YOU JUST DON’T SEE THESE THINGS’

    However, the owner of the antique would get it down for them, but only if they made an offer.

    Mike said, “Jersey, ya interested in this bicycle?”

    Jon immediately said yes, “It’s amazing that we had an opportunity to even find this bike in the wild.

    “You just don’t see these things. It’s surreal.”

    Mike hesitated before offering the seller $10,000 with Jersey Jon adding another $2,000.

    The seller then asked for $12,200 and the gentlemen agreed.

    “I can’t tell you the last time I even had an opportunity to buy a 1941 Indian Four Cylinder Chassis,” Jon said.

    “They don’t show up.”

    THEY WANT MORE

    Over the last few months, fans have been asking when The History Channel will air Season 26 .

    Last month, viewers got their wish as star Robbie Wolfe , 57, revealed that new episodes will return on October 15.

    “See you soon,” he captioned his Instagram post, showcasing a pic of himself and the AP film crew.

    In the comment section, fans jumped for joy.

    “Can’t wait!” one wrote.

    American Pickers has been on air since 2010 and its current cast includes Mike, brother Robbie, Danielle Colby , 48, and Jersey Jon.

    Back in May, The U.S. Sun exclusively reported that the antique hunting series was renewed until 2027 on The History Channel.
