This isn’t your grandmother’s antiquing. 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. American Pickers follows them as they scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and hearing their amazing stories. 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.
There is no Next Episode of American Pickers planned.
S26E9 - Speedway Thrills
In Arizona, Mike relives the thrill of speedway history thanks to a motorbike-loving family of adrenaline junkies and their garage full of one-of-a-kind racing mementos. Down the road in Georgia, Robbie and Jersey shake hands with visionary 'body man' Bill and scour a bad-to-the-bone collection that includes a vintage diner, a coin-op Porky ride, and a hand-built wooden Jeep.

S26E10 - Wizard of Odds
While on a doomed special mission for Mike in Florida, Robbie and Jersey pick through a mechanical wizard's jaw-dropping stockpile of petroliana and drag-race memorabilia. Down the road in California, Mike sidles up to a one-of-a-kind family heirloom--a mint-condition Harley three-wheeler whose story is as powerful as the piece itself.

S26E11 - Legendary Find
In the sprawling basement of a legendary classic car showroom in Connecticut, Mike and Jersey pick through a monster lifetime collection. But the thrill of the chase is nothing compared to a joyride in a flame-shooting 1908 Locomobile. Down the road--at a dazzling 1950s gas station in Georgia--Robbie shifts gears when a first-time seller says he's prepared to make a deal.
