Antique dealers Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz – the driving force behind History Channel's "American Pickers" – are from Iowa, but they trek quite a few miles through Wisconsin.

Producers of the show reached out to VISIT Milwaukee last week to help spread the word that they are looking for collections in Milwaukee to pick.  

"They are looking for leads in Wisconsin for filming which will start in June, specifically, ‘interesting characters with interesting items and lots of them! Please note that Mike and Frank only pick private collections, so no stores, malls, flea markets, museums, auctions, businesses or anything open to the public'," read a VISIT Milwaukee email.

The show continues to be one of the most watched programs on the cable network. If you’ve seen the show before, then you know they’ve been in our backyard before. One of the most memorable picks was going through the overflow warehouse at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh. If you watch "Real Milwaukee," then you may remember WITI-TV’s Chip Brewster’s visit to see Hippie Tom, who was featured on one of the early seasons of the show.

If you haven’t seen the show, it is a documentary series that explores the world of antique picking and the people living in it. Wolfe and Fritz take huge road trips across the U.S. to find antique motorcycles, classic cars, bicycles and other vintage memorabilia items. The show's hosts like to recycle and restore forgotten relics from our nation’s past to its former glory. When in season, new episodes air at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays.

If you know of a large collection or want to refer someone to the show, email details and photos of the items along with contact information to americanpickers@cineflix.com. Or call (855) 653-7878.
