The Real Reason American Pickers Never Visited Nevada

Similar to Utah, Nevada's climate isn't optimal for protecting older objects. It's excessively dry with little moisture in the atmosphere. This isn't great, particularly for wood objects, as the dryness can cause the material to warp. Granted, there are certain things collectors can do to protect valuables, but it costs a lot of money and can become time-consuming. The guys on "American Pickers" must've assumed it hasn't been worth it to venture into that kind of territory at this point. 

According to a Forbes report, Nevada has the driest climate in the country, with an average relative humidity of 38.3%. The Southwestern United States is known for its dry nature, but that hasn't stopped Wolfe and Fritz from venturing into the likes of Arizona and New Mexico. They're obviously not averse to driving all that way, perhaps if they know there's something genuinely great waiting for them.

Naturally, this doesn't mean Nevada is entirely out of the question. The show's currently on Season 22, and it has no signs of slowing down any time soon, even with Fritz's absence. Perhaps there will even be a special episode where Wolfe and Fritz finally pay a visit to the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop.
