"We’d love to see unusual or one-of-a-kind pieces and can’t wait to see what precious antiques the area holds with its rich history.”
Paul Martin said: “I can’t wait to get on the road, meet local people and see what incredible items I’m sure we’ll find.
"This series is a competition – and one that I definitely want to win each week! – so if you have something quirky, historical or exciting at home that you think could just be worth something, come on down!"
