Mike’s hurt his back but can’t afford time off to recuperate. The guys dive into a 92-year-old Iowa farmer’s unbelievable collection but make a huge mistake in the process. Mike and Frank counsel a prolific Ohio collector reluctant to part with his magnificent jukebox. And, after kicking it into high gear in Charlie’s motorcycle-packed outbuilding, Mike’s back takes a turn for the worse.

Synopsis

Pickers like Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are on a mission to recycle America, even if it means diving into countless piles of grimy junk or getting chased off a gun-wielding homeowner’s land. Hitting back roads from coast to coast, the two men earn a living by restoring forgotten relics to their former glory, transforming one person’s trash into another’s treasure.
