Carried on Canadian television, along with "Canadian Pickers" (two from Calgary) who were on the back roads of Newfoundland in one I saw last night.
As an old partly reformed junk hunter and addict of country auctions, I watch. I have seen them walk by some good items, but I have lost touch with which items are "hot", so I shouldn't judge.
Every magpie, pack rat and squirrel has preferences, so do junk (er, collectors of items of historical and cultural significance) addicts.
