Scott and Sheldon head to Saskatchewan where they return a Coté chief’s long-lost rifle to his First Nations community. Down the road, the guys visit a family farm with a staggering stockpile of stuff.

December 23, 2013
On the second leg of their UK adventure, the guys are determined to fill a shipping container with rare British pieces. In a seaside town, they meet a prolific World War II collector who’s unfortunately reluctant to sell. Later, a sprawling flea market in Denham fails to impress. That is, until the guys meet a fellow picker who offers to show them his first-class collection. And finally, the Welsh village of Portmeiron was the setting for the iconic TV series, The Prisoner. And the guys scour a jam-packed attic for treasure.
Picking the UK
11. Picking the UK
December 16, 2013
Scott and Sheldon have taken a major gamble by traveling to the UK, hoping to buy an iconic Wild West collection with a Canadian twist. But their dream of a major score becomes a nightmare when the seller is nowhere to be found. In order to help salvage the expensive trip, they head out on a cross-country UK picking adventure instead. Steeped in history and old world charm, Maunsel House mansion is jam-packed with antiques. And while the prices inside prove too rich for their blood, the guys scour the outbuildings where they uncover some exquisite rejects. Later, it’s full steam ahead at Trinity Marine where the warehouse is home to one of the biggest collections of nautical salvage in the world. Scott flips for a rare steamship sign, and the guys haggle over a genuine yellow submarine. Back in London, persistence finally pays off when the guys find themselves knee-deep in the century-old collection they’ve been desperately looking for.
