The hunt for forgotten relics and vintage gold restarts this Wednesday, July 2, at 9:00 PM ET, as American Pickers kicks off its 27th season on History with “Turbo Pick.” This episode sends Mike and Jersey deep into the back roads of Tennessee and Kentucky, looking for the kind of finds that make seasoned collectors drool.
First stop: a Tennessee stockpile that Mike and Jersey will “turbo-pick” through, which sounds less like a careful search and more like a high-speed dive into a treasure chest. Given this crew, expect to see dusty corners hiding items that have been off the grid for decades.
Then, they head for Kentucky, where a 1950s drive-in theater is holding a bounty of vintage goods. The promise of a “mint-condition” collection here is enough to get any antique enthusiast watching. The show has always given us a look into the real business of antiques, far from fancy boutiques, and this episode seems to lean into that.
American Pickers reminds us that American history is often found in the most unlikely places, turning forgotten objects into stories worth hearing.
