The television series "American Pickers" plans to film in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan in October and is seeking leads from residents with private collections, unique artifacts and stories to share.
Producers are looking for potential filming locations and collections, according to a community announcement. The History Channel series follows antique pickers as they travel the country searching for unusual, rare and historically significant items while meeting collectors and learning the stories behind their collections.
The show's producers said they are interested in hearing from people who own unique items and are willing to sell them. They are also seeking people with compelling personal stories connected to their collections.
The announcement notes that the production team is not interested in visiting businesses or locations open to the public, including stores, flea markets, malls, auction businesses and museums.

People interested in being considered for the program can submit their name, phone number, location and a description of their collection, along with photos.
Submissions can be sent by email to [email protected] or by calling 646-493-2184.
