'American Pickers' to Film in Michigan: How to Get on the Show

The History Channel’s documentary series “American Pickers” will film episodes throughout Michigan in June.

Show hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz will scour Michigan for hidden gems and vintage items that may have been given up as junk, according to an announcement.

The show, which airs at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesdays, features the characters Wolfe and Fritz meet along the way.

They typically look for collections that include toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia, military items, folk art, early firefighting equipment, vintage musical equipment, automotive items, clothing and one-of-a-kind vintage memorabilia.

Does that sound like the stuff in your garage? If you or someone you know has a large collection, send your name, phone number, location and a description to the collection with photos to americanpickers@cineflix.com or call 855-OLD-RUST.

The show will not consider visits to retail shops or flea markets.

“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,” the website says.
