In American Pickers season 3 episode 1, entitled "A Banner Pick," pickers Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are back on the road again, searching for hidden treasures and antiques across America. The episode begins with a visit to a collector's property in Illinois, where the hosts come across an unusual banner from a bygone era. The banner catches their eye, and they strike up a conversation with the collector, hoping to learn more about the piece.

As they inspect the banner, they discover that it dates back to the early 1900s and that it was part of a larger collection of banners and signage that were used to promote circuses, fairs, and other events during that time. The collector tells them that the banner has been in his family for generations, and that he is reluctant to part with it, but he recognizes that it might be worth a lot of money to the right collector. Mike and Frank make him an offer, and after some negotiating, they strike a deal.

The next stop on their journey takes them to a farm where they hope to find some unique items. They stumble upon an old milk can that catches their attention, but they quickly realize that it's not just any milk can – it's a rare and valuable piece that was used in the early days of dairy farming. Mike and Frank are delighted to have such a find, but they soon discover that the can is part of a larger collection of dairy farming memorabilia that the owner has been collecting for years. They decide to take a closer look and discover that the collection is a complete treasure trove of material, including old farming tools, milk crates, and vintage advertisements.

The pickers make the owner an offer, and after some negotiation, they are able to take home a small selection of items from the collection. But they are keen to come back in the future and make a bigger deal for the rest of the items.

Finally, Mike and Frank make their way to an old gas station that is in the process of being converted into a museum. They meet the owner, who has a passion for collecting vintage gas station memorabilia and has turned his driveway into an impressive display of gas pumps, signs, and other collectibles. There, they discover a rare and valuable sign that they know will do well in the market. They make the owner an offer, but he is reluctant to part with such an important piece. After some back and forth, they agree on a price, and Mike and Frank leave with their newest treasure.

Overall, "A Banner Pick" is an exciting episode of American Pickers, showcasing Mike and Frank's knack for finding unique and valuable items across America. From a rare milk can to a vintage gas station sign, the pair shows that they are always on the lookout for hidden gems.
