American Pickers (2010)
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.

On a California dream pick, the competitive pinball-wizard Wolfe brothers meet coin-op king Dirk at his giant poultry barn turned private arcade.
Flying solo, Mike heads to the California castle home of the Great Razooly--a sculptor, entrepreneur, and horror icon whose one-of-a-kind collection includes monsters, gargoyles and a custom rocket ship on the front lawn.
Mike meets a kindred spirit at a defunct Wisconsin railroad town and uncovers vintage treasures and new old stock in a jaw-dropping space that's frozen in time; in Illinois, Robbie becomes obsessed with getting a one-of-a-kind DeLorean knockoff.
In Minnesota, Mike and Jersey go hog wild for a four-generation carny collection complete with carousel horses, toy tanks, and bumper cars; down the road in New Hampshire, on a special mission for Robbie, the guys head to Roger's analog laboratory.
Mike meets a passionate Connecticut picker with major inventory--but getting access to his collection means dismantling a massive, layered wall of stuff.

On Chicago's North Side, Mike and Jersey get VIP access to a historic home that features four floors of high-end antique toys.
In Arizona, Mike relives the thrill of speedway history, thanks to a motorbike-loving family, that has a garage full of one-of-a-kind racing mementos.
While on a doomed special mission for Mike in Florida, Robbie and Jersey pick through a mechanical wizard's stockpile of petroliana and drag-race memorabilia; in California, Mike sidles up to a family heirloom, a mint-condition Harley three-wheeler.
In a car showroom in Connecticut, Mike and Jersey pick through a lifetime collection and experience a joyride in a flame-shooting 1908 Locomobile; at a 1950s gas station in Georgia, Robbie shifts gears with a first-time seller.
