American Pickers to film in California this March

Seeking leads on antiques in area

-

The popular television ‘American Pickers’ will be filming new episodes this spring in California, and are looking for ideas from local residents on antique treasure troves in our area.

The show’s stars Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and their team are excited to return to the state, and they plan to film episodes of the series throughout the region in March 2019.

‘American Pickers’ is a documentar­y series that explores the fascinatin­g world of antique “picking” on The History Channel. The show follows Mike and Frank, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques.

They are always excited to find sizeable, unique collection­s and learn the interestin­g stories behind them. As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Mike and Frank are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, the Pickers want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptiona­l items.

The pair hopes to give historical­ly significan­t objects a new lease on life, while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.

Mike and Frank have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordin­ary items and hear fascinatin­g tales about them.

The show is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure. If you or someone you know has a large, private collection or accumulati­on of antiques that the Pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, send us your name, phone number, location and descriptio­n of the collection with photos to: americanpi­ckers@cineflix. com or call 855-OLD-RUST.
