-

Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and their team for the hit television series “American Pickers,” said they are excited to return to Arkansas and they plan to film episodes of the hit series “American Pickers” throughout the region in mid-October and November.

“American Pickers” is a documentar­y series that explores the world of antique “picking” on the History Channel. The hit show follows Wolfe and Fritz, considered, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They are always excited to find sizable, unique collection­s and learn the interestin­g stories behind them.

As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Wolfe and Fritz said they are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, the “pickers” want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptiona­l items. They hope to give historical­ly significan­t objects a new lease on life, while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.

Wolfe and Fritz have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before, they said. They are ready to find extraordin­ary items and hear fascinatin­g tales about them. “American Pickers” is looking for leads and would love to explore local hidden treasure.

Local residents with large, private collection­s or accumulati­ons of antiques that the pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, they should send their name, phone number, location and descriptio­n of the collection with photos to: americanpi­ckers@cineflix.com or call 855-OLD-RUST. facebook: @GotAPick.
