SHEDS full of stuff sought for a pay television show Aussie Pickers.
SHEDS full of stuff collected over the years are being sought for a pay television show Aussie Pickers.
The shows hosts, Lucas Callaghan and Adam McDonald trawl through the stuff in search of hidden treasures in storerooms, garages and yards.
The precious items unearthed range from posters to toys to motorbikes.
The producers are seeking suitable candidates on the Border.
If enough people respond, they plan to film in the district next month or April.
In the previous series of Aussie Pickers, the treasures found have been valued without being auctioned.
This year, its planned that the hidden gems uncovered will be put up for sale.
Callaghan, who is a collector turned shop owner, operates a store in the Sydney suburb of Paddington.

Dairy farmers could save $42 million through electricity efficiency measures in the dairy shed, and now an online tool is available that gives individual farmers an idea of how well they are making use of the electricity they pay for.
EECA BUSINESS has launched the Dairy Farm Energy Efficiency tool, which compares a dairy farms electricity use to other dairy farms in New Zealand, and to best practice.
The average New Zealand dairy farm spends over $20,000 a year on electricity, but dairy sheds vary a lot in how efficiently they use their electricity, says Kirk Archibald, EECA projects and relationship manager.
"Some dairy farms are using three times as much electricity as others for the same milk-solids production."
Overall, dairy farmers could save $42 million a year through cost effective technologies and simple actions.
"The Dairy Farm Energy Efficiency tool is designed to help dairy farmers see if they are missing out on making significant savings.
"By answering a few simple questions, you can map your energy use against 150 dairy farms across New Zealand. You can find out how you compare against others, and the improvements that would make a difference in your milking shed," Kirk Archibald said.
Overall, New Zealands 12,000 dairy farms use $251 million worth of electricity, or 7% of New Zealands total electricity use. It is estimated that electricity contributes 15c to the cost of every kilogram of milk solids produced.
Interim results from a programme run by EECA show dairy sheds have reduced electricity use by around a fifth after installing heat recovery equipment.
Energy data collected from 15 farms shows that energy efficiency upgrades have reduced electricity use by 21% overall, meaning projects will have paid for themselves in under 3 years on average.

Devon Energy (DVN) turned a profit in the fourth quarter, as higher production and selling prices lifted the company.
Devon reported net income of $207 million, or 51 cents a share, versus a loss of $357 million, or 89 cents a share, in the same period a year earlier. The year-ago period included an $896 million asset write-down.
Adjusted earnings, which exclude asset charges and other one-time items, rose to $1.10 a share from 78 cents. Revenue ticked 1.7% higher to $2.62 billion.
Wall Street analysts projected an adjusted profit of $1.08 a share and revenue of $2.69 billion.
Average daily production climbed 2.6% during the quarter. Average realized prices before hedging impacts were up 9% for oil and 1% for natural gas.
Also on Wednesday, Devon unveiled a deal to sell most of its conventional assets in Canada to Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) for $3.125 billion Canadian dollars, or $2.8 billion. The company said it expects to divest its remaining non-core assets in the U.S. by the end of this year.
Oklahoma City-based Devon, which helped pioneer drilling for natural gas, is in the process of turning itself into a bigger player in the oil industry.
The company recently agreed to pay closely held GeoSouthern Energy $6 billion for assets at the Eagle Ford shale formation in Texas. It also plans to combine its U.S. midstream assets with Crosstex Energy (XTXI) to form a publicly traded master limited partnership.
Devon was trading 2.3% higher at $64.34 on Wednesday morning. U.S. shares of Canadian Natural Resources jumped 3.2% to $36.91.

"The result we're unveiling today is the first ever map of radioactive material in the remnants of a star that exploded in an incredibly powerful event called a supernova," said Fiona Harrison, NuSTAR principal investigator at the California Institute of Technology.
"This is helping us to untangle the mysteries surrounding how stars explode and in particular, what's happening at the very heart of the explosion. No other telescope could make this map."

But eventually, if a star is massive enough to begin with, only iron is left in the core and fusion stops for good, triggering a final gravitational collapse and the birth of an ultra-dense neutron star or a black hole. In either case, material from the outer regions of the dying sun is pulled inward, crashes into the collapsing core and rebounds, triggering a cataclysmic shock and a flood of penetrating neutrinos.
But in computer simulations, the shock wave can stall out, preventing a supernova from proceeding.
One possible explanation is that powerful jets can form when a spinning star collapses and then blow the sun apart. Another model holds that the core collapse is not symmetrical and that it "sloshes" about, creating bubble-like structures that penetrate the shock front and give the neutrinos a way to blast out.
