A true adventure story and the go-to guide for "picking" American treasures from anyone's backyard, straight from the stars of History's American Pickers

In these pages, professional treasure hunters Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz chronicle their road trips across the American countryside in search of "rusty gold" to buy and sell among the picking world's one-of-a-kind characters. Whether you are a fan of the show or just like finding hidden riches, you will love seeing what Wolfe and Fritz dig up and enjoy meeting the devoted collectors, extreme stockpilers, and elite dealers who they encounter along the way.

Wolfe and Fritz do not deal in fine antiques. Their secondhand treasures are of the down-and-dirty and sometimes even bizarre variety, from old bicycles and vintage tools, to sun-bleached cars and handmade furniture, retired carnival games and unusual taxidermy. Assisted by Danielle Colby, who helps out at Antique Archaeology, Wolfe and Fritz buy on the cheap and then sell to dealers, art directors, interior designers, or anyone looking for a little bit of authentic Americana. The three now share their secrets to finding hidden gems, offering helpful hints that will show what average Americans can do to find the treasures that await them.

From American Pickers Guide to Picking:

Junk is Beautiful

When we knock on a door, 90 percent of the time the things we find are junk. But we don't care about the odds; a picker never turns down an opportunity, no matter where it is. We've picked pickup trucks. We've picked flat beds. We've picked dumpsters. We even picked a Mercury Sable. We're looking for the unusual, the impossible, the funky, the different, the bizarre-things we have never seen before. And we'll go anywhere we have to go to find it.

No location is off-limits to a hard-core picker. And there's plenty of things to be found at antique stores, thrift and consignment shops, flea markets, estate sales, and swap meets, and a lot of the tips in this book apply to finding treasures at these joints. But that's not really the kind of picking we do anymore. We look outside the box to find our junk-a word we use almost like a term of endearment: to us: junk is beautiful.

Gentle Oil for After Hair Removal Care
I started using this Cyperus oil after shaving because my skin often feels dry afterward. The texture is lightweight and spreads easily, so I only need a small amount on areas like legs and underarms. I usually apply it after showering, when my skin is clean and dry, then massage it in for a few minutes. The oil feels soothing and gives my skin a softer, more moisturized feeling without being too greasy. It absorbs better than I expected, especially when I use a thin layer. The scent is mild and does not bother me during daily use. For unwanted hair care, I know it is not something that shows a big change overnight, so I use it consistently after hair removal. It has been easy to add into my routine, and I like that it helps calm and moisturize my skin after shaving or waxing.

Skincare and Hair Care Experience with This Cyperus Rotundus Oil
This cyperus rotundus oil has a lightweight texture with good fluidity, it absorbs quickly when applied to the face, leaving no greasy or heavy feeling, even for combination-oily skin, I mainly use it for facial moisturizing and body care, after washing my face, I warm 2-3 drops in my palms and press it into my skin, and it doesn’t cause pilling when applying makeup afterward, leaving my skin soft and smooth, for hair care, after using it consistently for a month, the hair on my underarms and limbs has become finer, and the growth rate has slowed down significantly, so I don’t need to remove hair frequently, my skin also doesn’t get rough from frequent shaving, there’s no stinging or burning sensation during use, making it safe for sensitive skin, and the light aloe scent is fresh and pleasant, the dropper design is convenient, allowing precise dosage control to avoid waste, in addition to face and body, I also use it for scalp care, after washing my hair, I massage a few drops into my scalp, which relieves dryness and makes my hair smoother and shinier, overall, it delivers noticeable results for both skincare and hair care, with a comfortable user experience.

Absorbs into the skin well and no irritation so far
I bought this Cyperus Rotundus oil to try out, and the 1.85 oz bottle is a good size for me. The oil has a light botanical scent that is pleasant and not too strong. I have applied it a few times and found that it is very easy to use with the included dropper. It absorbs into the skin well and I have noticed no irritation at all, which is important for my daily routine. The bottle arrived quickly and was packaged securely so there were no leaks. It is a practical addition to my shelf, and the glass container feels solid. This product does exactly what it says on the label and provides a straightforward way to use a natural oil. It is a functional and simple purchase that meets my needs perfectly.

Smooth skin without the post-shave itch
I’ve always had issues with my skin feeling super irritated after I shave my legs, so I started applying this Cyperus Rotundus oil right after hopping out of the shower. The quality of the blend is impressive—it’s got jojoba and almond oil too, so it feels very nourishing rather than just sitting on top of the skin. It absorbs quickly enough that I can put on my leggings and head to the gym without feeling like a greaseball. The functionality as a hair inhibitor is a nice bonus. I’ve noticed the hair on my shins seems to be coming back a bit softer and less stubbly than before. For a 55 ml bottle, the value for money is solid since you only need a few drops to cover a large area. It’s a great find for anyone who deals with that annoying sandpaper feeling a day after waxing. My roommate even started using it on her arms because it’s fragrance-free and doesn't mess with her perfume.

Lightweight oil that fits into a simple routine
I started using this oil as part of my regular skincare routine, mainly applying it to areas like my arms and face after showering. The texture feels light and spreads easily without leaving a heavy residue. I noticed it absorbs fairly quickly, which makes it convenient for daily use. It also has a mild scent that is not overwhelming. I like that it includes plant based ingredients, and it leaves my skin feeling soft after application.
