If you have some collectibles or antiques you’re willing to potentially part with, “American Pickers” has plans to film in Texas this winter! According to the Star-Telegram, the reality TV show hasn’t yet selected the specific filming locations here in the Lone Star State, but the behind-the-scenes staff have asked Texans to reach out to them if they have “large, rare collections & things they’ve never seen before” which the Pickers might be interested in looking at.

Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are the “pickers” of the show, who travel throughout the country in search of aged treasure. “The show is planning to film in Texas this winter, but we have not set any specific locations in the state yet as the hosts are still looking for people in the area with unique antique collections and interesting stories behind them,” explained Evan Linden, with “American Pickers.”

Beginning in January, Fritz and Wolfe will be traveling across Texas in search of unique collections to look at for their History Channel documentary series. A statement from their show explains, “As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Mike and Frank are on a mission to recycle and reuse forgotten relics…Along the way, the Pickers want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptional items…The pair hopes to give historically significant objects a new lease on life while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.”

Those in Texas who have “large, private collection or accumulation of antiques that the Pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through” are asked to call and leave a voicemail at 1-855-OLD-RUST or email [email protected]. You can also post a message on their Facebook page @GotAPick. The show advises you’ll need to leave your name, phone number, location, and item(s) or collection description, with the possibility of available photos. As a postscript, Frank and Mike only pick private collections and won’t be entertaining stores, museums, malls, auctions, flea markets, or businesses of any kind which are open to the public.
