Great day to be out picking in Minnesota. Steampunk anyone?

Cast iron. A great thing to pick no matter what the shape of the price is right. They can generally be refurbished to working order, even if they look like this. These were half buried in the ground inside an old barn. Watch for the old stuff there is worth there.

City wide garage sales last weekend. Those are always tough to pick. A lot of kids clothes etc. We always find it better to find the sales not directly in town. That's where you tend to find the good stuff. Like this estate sale liquidating things from parents who were auctioneers. Plus we found these great vintage chairs at a friends sale. Those are going in our collection ;)

Videos, pics, finds and hints. We will have it all! If anyone in the Chisago, Minnesota area knows of anyone that would let us look through barns, buildings and homes we pay cash! Send us messages. We will respond. The garage sales are popping everywhere! Enjoy your weekend!

Here's one of my favorites. They redid the highway. Look it was already 2 lanes on both sides! Zoom if you can. It's kind of fun.

This is what Picking is all about! Check out my friend Steve's metal art! He uses vintage and scrap metal to make beautiful works of folk art. You can find his stuff on the Minnesota dickering and trade page! Give it a search!
