Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz run Antique Archaeology, a popular Iowa antique shop. To stock their store with the best in ancient Americana, they trek across the country to dig up treasures in American Pickers.
Whether it’s a junkyard or someone’s sprawling backyard, no destination is too dusty or dingy for Mike or Fritz. Using their great negotiation skills, they haggle with the best of them to find less-than-perfect antiques, restore them, and then sell them at from their Iowa storefront. There’s also plenty of real-life history to learn along the way.
