American Pickers is History channel reality TV series that follows antique and collectible "pickers" Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and Danielle Colby who travel around the country "picking" and buying various items either for resale or their personal collections. It's a pretty cool job, particularly for those who enjoy American history and have a knack for spotting diamonds in the rough. Viewers have been joining the pickers on their hunt for antiques since 2010, but some picks are definitely more noteworthy than others. Here are ten of the coolest things found on American Pickers over the years.
In the often fickle world of reality television, American Pickers has proven to be one of the shows with the greatest staying power. Recently beginning its 20th season for the History Channel, American Pickers has been on the air since 2010 with over 250 episodes under its belt. Making household names out of “pickers” Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz (to the point that Mike made a cameo appearance last year as himself on NCIS), the show also includes the duo's various employees, colleagues, and partners-in-crime, most notably, Danielle Colby, Robbie Wolfe, Lauren Wray Grisham, and Dave Ohrt.
