Americam Pickers


American Pickers is a show about two men who drive around the United States to find historical artifacts that they can buy and sell for a higher price. The two main characters are Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz. They live in Iowa but travel thousands of miles to find great homes of collectors to buy their junk. What people call junk is treasure to them. At their workshop they have an assistant who guides them to the homes of people. Her name is Danielle, and the workshop is called Antique Archeology.
            Mike and Frank collect and buy unusual items. A few examples are old bicycles, motorcycles, oil cans, old scooters, old signs (like the old coca cola signs), old cars, and many other items. Usually they double their money every time they stop at a place.
         American Pickers is a popular show. On September 8, 2010 its viewers reached up to 5.3 million people for just one episode called “Laurel and Hardy.”
