AMERICAN PICKERS: The Mother Load

In small towns and along America’s back roads, treasures are waiting to be uncovered. Valuable relics from our history are hidden in junk piles, buried in barns and stacked in garages. It takes experts to find them – and turn dust and rust into riches.

AMERICAN PICKERS follows two of the most skilled “pickers” – Mike Wolfe, owner of Antique Archaeology, and his business partner, Frank Fritz – as they hunt down objects with historical, collectible and pop culture value that have long been forgotten by their owners. Along the way, they meet people whose stories open a window into American lives and history. 

In this collection of AMERICAN PICKERS, Mike and Frank find a stash of untouched inventory from one of the country’s oldest bicycle and sporting goods store, accept a special invite from Indiana’s Model - A Ford lady and fall hard for her ultra-rare barn-fresh Model - A tow truck, and come across a hidden hideaway filled with history and even some mementos from a bluegrass legend.

AMERICAN PICKERS: Raiders of the Lost Pick

This isn’t your grandmother’s antiquing. Pickers like Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are on a mission to recycle America, even if it means diving into countless piles of grimy junk or getting chased off a gun-wielding homeowner’s land. Hitting back roads from coast to coast, the two men earn a living by restoring forgotten relics to their former glory, transforming one person’s trash into another’s treasure. 

AMERICAN PICKERS follows them as they scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and hearing their amazing stories. If you think the antique business is all about upscale boutiques and buttoned-up dealers, this show may change your mind–and teach you a thing or two about American history along the way.

In this brand new volume of AMERICAN PICKERS , Mike and Frank are itching to see what is inside a barn that has been off limits for a quarter of a century. And while Mike makes like a honey badger, bundle master Frank strikes again. Then it's all Rock and Roll as the guys tackle the painstaking preservation of Aerosmith's original tour van while a star-struck Frank picks one of his teen idols.
