The History Channel's "American Pickers" crew is on the hunt for Texas gems.

In a nutshell

The documentary series highlights rare and historical items. The team will begin filming in Texas in October; where, though, depends on the tips they receive.

What you need to know

Producer Meredith said the team, which includes Mike Wolfe, Robbie Wolfe, Jersey Jon and Danielle Colby, has not yet planned a route.


"It all depends on collectors that express interest in a possible visit," Ball said. "From there, they will choose collections to visit in person."

The details

Ball said they are not looking for any specific type of item but rather unique items that come with a great story.

"Whether someone has a few rare or unique items, or a barn full of treasures, we’d love to hear from them," Ball said.


The one caveat, she said, is that pickers will not visit stores, flea markets, malls, auction businesses, museums or any other venues that are open to the public.

What else?

Texans interested in submitting an item for consideration can email [email protected].

Ball said entries should include:
  • Name
  • Phone number
  • Location
  • Description of the item
  • Photos of the item
In their own words


"The pickers have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before," Ball said in a news release. "They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them."
