If you have a yard full of what some might call “junk” and a head full of interesting anecdotes, the History Channel is looking for you.

The cable network’s “American Pickers” is planning a visit to Michigan this summer. But before Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz make their way to the Great Lakes State, they need some specific destinations.

“American Pickers,” currently in its seventh season, focuses on Wolfe and Fritz as they travel the country ‘picking’ for antiques.

If you think you have a unique antiques collection worth seeing or know someone who does, the History Channel wants to hear from you. They are especially looking for “interesting characters,” according to an announcement regarding the upcoming visit.

The show will head to Michigan in June. Items they are specifically looking to find include:

  • Vintage bicycles
  • Toys
  • Unusual radios
  • Movie memorabilia
  • Advertising
  • Military items
  • Folk art
  • Early firefighting equipment
  • Vintage musical equipment
  • Automotive items
  • Clothing
  • And more

“They are always excited to see things they’ve never seen before and learn the story behind it,” the announcement states.

If you know someone who deserves a visit from the “American Pickers,” email the following information to [email protected]:
