5 Acres of Junk

Mon, Mar 15, 2010 · 44 min

Leaving Iowa in the dead of winter, Mike and Frank head south to New Orleans. There they stumble upon a quirky antique dealer with a sprawling collection. But after digging through his treasure-filled outbuilding, they begin to wonder if he’s ready to make a deal. The guys meet a unique relic hunter whose collection includes dinosaur fossils, and then visit his quirky neighbor–a compulsive collector who’s rarely in the mood to sell. But when Mike spots a pair of rare visible gas pumps, the Picking game is on. With over 2,000 motorbikes and piles of twisted metal, Vic’s automotive graveyard is a picker’s paradise. And, Danielle finds a local buyer who might make the day a total success.
