Got junk? Popular History Channel show “American Pickers” is coming to California in search of hidden treasures.

Now in its 25th season, “American Pickers” follows co-hosts Mike and Robbie Wolfe as they “scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and hearing their amazing stories,” according to the official show notes.

The Wolfe brothers are aided in their mission to find “America’s most valuable antiques” by shop manager Danielle Colby and fellow picker Jersey Jon, the show said.

“Hitting back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers earn a living by restoring forgotten relics to their former glory, transforming one person’s trash into another’s treasure,” the History Channel said.

Now the “American Pickers” team is returning to the West Coast in search of more rusty relics, according to a news release.

They plan to visit California in November, the release said.
