American Pickers Season 16 Episode 12 Concrete Jungle

In American Pickers season 16 episode 12, titled "Concrete Jungle," Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz head to New York City to pick through the urban jungle. The pair start the episode off with a bang, as they check out a collection of vintage motorcycles. Frank is in biker heaven as he climbs on some of the beautiful bikes, and Mike can't help but notice the impressive collection of vintage auto racing memorabilia hanging on the walls.

Mike and Frank then head over to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where they meet up with a collector who has an incredibly rare, early nineteenth-century coffee mill. The rusty old machine doesn't look like much at first, but after some digging, the picker realizes that he's stumbled across something truly special.

The duo then head uptown to check out some more vintage treasures. They visit a woman who has an old pinball machine in her living room, which she's hoping to sell to make some more space. Mike is delighted to find the machine is in working condition, and he gets caught up in a fierce competition with Frank over who can rack up the most points.

Next, the pair head to Brooklyn to meet up with a collector who has some seriously cool vintage toys. They find everything from old board games to vintage model airplanes, and they can hardly contain their excitement. The collector even has a rare, early edition of the classic children's book "The Cat in the Hat," which he's happy to let the guys flip through.

Mike and Frank then swing by a warehouse in Queens to check out a massive collection of antique cars and parts. The owner of the collection has been hoarding vintage automotive treasures for decades, and the guys are thrilled to see everything from old hubcaps to rare engines. The only trouble is, they have to dig their way through a mountain of junk to find what they're looking for.

Finally, Mike and Frank head out to Long Island to visit a collector who has some seriously impressive vintage signage. They find everything from old neon signs to classic advertising posters, and they can hardly contain their excitement. The collector even has a rare oil-can sign that Mike has been searching for for years.

As the episode wraps up, Mike and Frank reflect on all the cool vintage treasures they've found during their time in the Concrete Jungle. They may have been in the middle of one of the largest cities in the world, but they managed to find some seriously cool stuff hidden away in the most unexpected places.
