American Pickers: 1. Big Bear

Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz--business partners in Iowa-based Antique Archaeology and friends since the 8th grade--are part sleuths, part antiques experts, and part cultural historians. They call themselves "pickers" because their job is to pick through backyard junk, abandoned barns and neglected garages across the back roads of America looking for hidden collectibles they can make a buck on.
