In this episode, the duo sets their sights on a unique collection of vintage gas pumps that are said to be one of the most extensive in the country.

Upon arriving at the location, the pickers are immediately impressed by what they see. The gas pumps range from the early 1900s all the way up to the 1960s, with many of them still in pristine condition. As the pickers begin to examine the collection more closely, they realize that there are some real gems to be found.

One of the first items that catches their eye is a rare and highly sought-after gas pump from the 1930s. The pump is in impeccable condition, with its original paint and unique design still intact. Mike and Frank are both thrilled to have found such a valuable piece, and they begin to negotiate with the owner in the hopes of purchasing it for a fair price.

As they continue to sift through the collection, they come across several other noteworthy items, including a vintage neon sign from the 1950s and several old oil cans that would be valuable to collectors. They also discover a few surprises, such as a pair of antique bicycles that were used to deliver newspapers in the early 1900s.

Throughout the episode, Mike and Frank face several challenges as they negotiate with the owner and try to purchase the items they want. At one point, they find themselves in a bidding war with another buyer who is also interested in the gas pumps. However, in the end, their persistence pays off, and they are able to walk away with a number of valuable items for their own collection.

As the episode comes to a close, Mike and Frank reflect on their experience and share their excitement about the items they were able to acquire. They leave the location feeling satisfied and eager to hit the road again, ready to uncover more hidden treasures and add to their ever-growing collection.
