they dug through a long-closed variety store (five-and-dime) in Washington, IL....
I have heard from someone who has familiarity that as always the huge bulk of what was stashed in the long-closed store was without much value, but for the sake of efficiency in filming and for the sake of drama & interest - the show is filmed with certain items "planted" so that Mike & Frank will appear to find some rare gems that they can discuss or mention detail.
Most viewers are fooled into thinking the show is filmed as the "Picking" is actually going on LIVE, but unfortunately that would be a HUGE waste of time & money since 99% of the digging yields nothing but worthless junk.
So pretty much everything is staged with an "advance crew" coming in days earlier to identify what might be of interest and stage what then looks like, on camera, to be actual real-time picking going on.
One other item mentioned in the internet "teaser" info is that they find a frame for an old hot rod...that should be interesting
