American Pickers looking for Iowa collectors

The "American Pickers" television show on the History Channel is looking for Iowa locations to film episodes.

The “American Pickers” are excited to return to Iowa. They plan to film episodes of The History Channel hit television series in September 2024.

“American Pickers” is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on The History Channel. The hit show follows skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They are always excited to find historically significant or rare items, in addition to unforgettable characters and their collections.

As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, they want to meet characters with amazing stories and fun items. They hope to give historically significant objects a new lease on life while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.

The Pickers have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them. The American Pickers TV Show is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure. If you or someone you know has a unique item, story to tell, and is ready to sell we would love to hear from you.

Please note, the Pickers do not pick stores, flea markets, malls, auction businesses, museums or anything open to the public. If interested, please send us name, phone number, location and description of the collection with photos to: americanpickers@cineflix.com or call (646) 493-2184
