American Pickers — Season 2
Season two kicks off in North Carolina as Mike and Frank dive into the remnants of a collector’s estate – uncovering a classic 1950 Studebaker hidden amongst forgotten outbuildings. Their relentless hunt for “good junk” takes them across the landscape, through decaying school buses, charred storage sheds, crumbling barns, sprawling salvage yards, and mountains of rust. Along the way, they stumble upon an unusual find, sparking playful wagers about its true nature before a surprising appraisal reveals all. They’ll face stiff competition from a sharp mother-daughter duo who clearly have a knack for picking, and test their negotiation skills against reluctant sellers guarding treasures close to their hearts. While Mike and Frank are on the road, Danielle Colby Cushman keeps everything running smoothly back at Antique Archaeology in Iowa.
