American Pickers is a television show that premiered in 2010 and is currently airing on the History Channel. The show follows two antique collectors, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, as they travel across the United States in search of unique and valuable items. They often visit homes, barns, and warehouses where they dig through piles of junk to find hidden treasures.

Mike and Frank have been in the antique business for decades and have a keen eye for spotting valuable items. They also have a network of contacts and experts that they consult with to help them appraise and authenticate the items they find. Once they purchase an item, they often resell it at their antique shop in Iowa or to other collectors.

The show has been praised for its entertaining and educational content, as well as for its promotion of historic preservation and recycling. It has also sparked an increased interest in antiques and vintage items, leading to a resurgence in popularity for flea markets and antique shops across the country.
