The deals are flying when a Colorado property turns out to be a mega-pick.

Danielle and the guys kick it into overdrive when they land a high-profile custom pick for Dollywood, the theme park owned by legendary country music star Dolly Parton. A tribute to the Smokey Mountain Fire Patrol of the 1930s, the park's brand new roller coaster wouldn't be complete without some key pieces of vintage petroliana. And the team has just two weeks to uncover a long list of hard-to-find items.
8 Captain Quirk

Picking the South pays off when Alabama turns up a jackpot of unusual items, including a pricey relic from a legendary plantation home.

10 Need for Speed
6/4/14
The guys hit pay dirt in Alabama while freestyling at a retro automotive warehouse owned by a true blue racing family. They hit a dead end negotiating against the county's former police chief. And Mike hatches a strategy to walk away with a must-have Lambretta scooter.

With the roof caving in on his massive family stockpile, a Kentucky collector is motivated to sell whatever he can before it's too late.

Stop watching this show! It has developed into a huge disappointment. Turning it's back on the mental health and well being of Frank Fritz. They now try to produce fake drama using Mike Wolf's brother who is a disaster and Danielle Colby's dramatically fake persona. Shame on History Channel and Mike Wolf continued disregard for properly dealing with mental health issues.

This used to be such a good show. I was a big fan. Now, without Frank, it just is not interesting. Mike is a bit of a narcissist. It's all about him. The show is not horrible or stupid, but it lacks the back-and-forth of Frank and Mike, and the unique perspective of Frank. Frank was a character. I have moved on and won't watch any more. But, I like watching the first 14 seasons in reruns.

Good show. Mike and Frank are entertaining on and off the picks. They meet a diverse group of people on thier trips. There is no politics, sexual orientation glorifying, or obvious fake encounters. (Which would ruin the show)
