The second season of the popular “American Pickers” starring Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz begins Monday, December 6th. The reality series, which features the pair in their search across America for “rusty gold”, was the #1 new cable series of 2010. As reported in September (see Mike Wolfe & Frank Fritz of American Pickers Coming to California, Seeking Movie and Hollywood Memorabilia), all new episodes will feature their search expanding to California.
The History Channel will be providing me with two copies of the Season 1 DVD to giveaway to readers of the Original Prop Blog. If you would like a chance to win, please e-mail me an e-mail with your first and last name with “American Pickers Giveaway” in the subject line before 12/25 and I’ll pick two of the entries by random drawing and post the winner’s names in a reader comment at the bottom of this article on Christmas.
About “American Pickers”:
Part sleuths, part antiques experts, and part cultural historians – Mike and Frank’s adventures bring them to small towns across the country in search of weird and wonderful Americana. Each treasure hunt leads them to fascinating, quirky characters – everyday people with stories that open a window onto American life.
As professional “pickers,” these childhood buddies comb through memorabilia and artifacts, hoping to find treasures among the trash. Sometimes they make a few bucks; and sometimes they walk away with little more than the history of an item.
You can learn more about the series at History.com and on Facebook.
