MIKE WOLFE

 Mike Wolfe, a lifelong American hunter, has been searching for treasures hidden in the bushes since he was only four years old. He has gained a name as one of America's most sought-after foragers. He travels from coast to coast in search of old gold that has rust over the decades. Wolfe is an avid picker who is able to spot deteriorating barns, overgrown yards , and many other objects. He also recognizes the beauty and story of lost objects as well as his friend Frank Fritz. He states, "A picker is kind of like a nomadic." Wolfe is fascinated by the stories and characters that he meets along the way. They're just as valuable as the precious treasures he discovers in their attics and barns. He says, "Anything that I can earn money from." He is always looking for things that have stories. Items which fill in some of America's gaps. Antique Archaeology is his specialty shop that sells antiques, vintage items as well as folk art. The locations are well-known tourist destinations located in Le Claire, Iowa, and Nashville, Tennessee. His main interest, in addition to his wife and children, is to protect the small-town spirit of America and to find historic buildings that are located in the Midwest and the mid-South. This will bring new life to the streets in which the family lived.
