The people behind the popular History Channel television series “American Pickers” are crossing their fingers that they soon will be able to cross the state on a search for hidden treasures.
The documentary-style show has followed the excursions of collectors Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz and Danielle Colby since 2010. They criss-cross the nation looking for unique or unusual slices of Americana, rooting through basements, attics, barns and sheds. Many of the items are sold through their Antique Archaeology shops in Le Claire, Iowa, and Nashville, Tennessee. Other items have become a part of their personal collections.
