在美國偏僻的鄉間小路和小鎮上有許多寶藏等待著被挖掘。珍貴的歷史文物就藏在垃圾堆或是車庫的雜物堆裡。需要特殊的尋寶專家來找到它們並發掘出它們真正的價值。本節目將跟著兩位最厲害的尋寶專家，古董店的老闆麥克和他的夥伴法蘭克。他們將會挖出那些深富歷史、收藏、流行文化價值但卻被擁有者淡忘的古董。他們在路上遇到的人們背後的故事本身，也訴說著美國過去的歷史及文化。
In small towns, and along America's back roads, treasures are waiting to be uncovered--valuable relics from history that are hidden in junk piles, buried in barns and stacked in garages. It takes special experts to find these lost artifacts and hopefully turn rust to riches. The Pickers follows two of the most skilled "pickers" Mike Wolfe, owner of Antique Archaeology, and his business partner, Frank Fritz, as they hunt down objects with historical, collectible and pop culture value that have been long forgotten by their owners. Along the way, they meet people whose own stories open a window into American lives and history.
