History Channel’s “American Pickers” coming to Georgia this winter

- By Tyler Serritt Staff Writer

Attention all collectors, lovers and hoarders of all things classic, antique, old and rusty, the “American Pickers” crew is coming to Georgia this winter to search across the state for aged treasures.

“American Pickers” has been a sensationa­l hit television show on the History Channel since its creation in 2010. It chronicles the crosscount­ry travels of Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz in their white van as they sift through various junkfilled properties for items to purchase or “pick” for Mike’s business Antique Archaeolog­y and Frank’s business Frank Fritz Finds.

Antique Archaeolog­y’s original location is in LeClair, Iowa and is often shown being operated by Danielle Colby, who also appears on the show and arranges stops for Mike and Frank. Mike has also opened an Antique Archaeolog­y property in Nashville, Tenn. as the show has grown.

Mike and Frank often follow up on scheduled leads, but also freestyle and make quick decisions to stop at promising properties that look overflowin­g with antique items. Mike tends to go after aged motorcycle­s and bicycles, Frank is usually heavily interested in ancient toys, trinkets and oil cans.

They both have a strong penchant for classic automobile­s, dated movie posters and old corporate signs.

Anyone in the northwest Georgia area possessing some property or a barn, garage or storage building containing any of these items or any similarly rusted valuables that you would be willing to part with for a some cash, the Pickers could be interested in checking out your stash for the show.

If interested, feel free to call 1-855-653-7878 or email AmericanPi­ckers@ cineflix. com to potentiall­y have your collection picked and the opportunit­y to interact with some of the best antique experts and History Channel television personalit­ies.
