The American Pickers are returning to Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
They plan to film episodes of History Channel’s hit television series “American Pickers” throughout the region in November.
“American Pickers” is a documentary series that explores the world of antique picking. The show follows skilled pickers as they hunt for some of America’s most valuable antiques.
The Pickers are always excited to find historically significant or rare items, as well as unforgettable characters and their collections. As they travel back roads from coast to coast, they are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics.
Along the way, they hope to meet people with amazing stories and unique items. They aim to give historically significant objects a new lease on life while learning more about America’s past.
The Pickers have discovered a lot of “rusty gold” over the years and are always looking to find something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to uncover extraordinary items and hear the fascinating stories behind them.
How you can help the ‘American Pickers’ team
The television show is seeking leads and would love to explore hidden treasures.
If you or someone you know has a unique item, a story to tell and is ready to sell, the show’s producers would like to hear from you.
The Pickers visit only private collections and do not visit stores, flea markets, malls, auction businesses, museums or other places open to the public.
Those interested can send their name, phone number, location and a description of the collection, along with photos, to americanpickers@cineflix.com or call 646-493-2184.
