Roger, have you noticed they rarely give an exact location of a pick. I like to look for landmarks, signs on buildings, highway signs, etc to see what town they're in.

Yeah, Mike, I had not really thought about it, but they're always telling the gal to "...send the coordinates..." as opposed to mentioning the town. I'll have to see if I can find the episode and see if I can recognize anything.

Shine is right, they know zip about cars. Everytime they walk into some garage and see any old car they immediately start thinking it is worth a million bucks. They even called that coupe a roadster, and overpay for every car they get.

One other thing we have talked about is who would want it known on national TV the valuables that you have stashed away? With the world the way it is today some idiot would think nothing of breaking in and cleaning you out. There was just a thread on the HAMB where a guy had a collection of stuff and some thief broke in and stole some stuff and even killed the family dog in the process.

I don't even like passerbys looking in our open garage door when they go by.

I think they have changed revealing their location, on the earlier shows they gave their location. The one that comes to mind was in Tennessee. Cades Cove was mentioned and that is in the Great Smokie Mountain area. Lived in that area til 1966. Shades of the Past auto show is near by in Pegion Forge Tn. Lots of cars in barns ,fields and etc.
