David Harper and Izzie Balmer are on the Antiques Road Trip for season 24, episode 6, which starts with David in the driver's seat and Izzie in the passenger's. The duo starts their journey in St. Austell, Cornwall, and are set to explore seven shops in search of valuable treasures.
Their first stop is a nautical-themed shop where they come across a pair of antique binoculars. David is impressed with the quality and suggests that they could possibly fetch a high sum at auction. They move on to the next shop, which specializes in military antiques and collectibles. The shopkeeper details the history behind a World War II medal, which catches Izzie's eye.
As they continue their journey, they come across unique finds such as a rare coin, vintage sunglasses, and a retro Coca-Cola machine. Izzie's keen eye leads them to a French raspberry jam pot, which, after some negotiation, they manage to bargain for a lower price.
The episode takes a competitive turn when Izzie and David come across a set of antique scales, with each one trying to out-bid the other. The tension mounts as they approach their final destination, with both hoping to find a valuable treasure that would give them the winning edge.
At the last stop, they come across an intriguing collection of taxidermy, including a life-size lion. David is quick to notice a silver snuff box, which he believes could be a valuable piece. Izzie, however, is drawn to an antique brooch, with intricate detailing and subtle hints of turquoise.
As the duo heads back to the auction house, they ponder over their finds and strategize their next moves. With a mix of excitement and anticipation, they're curious to find out who will come out on top. As always, the unpredictable nature of the Antiques Road Trip keeps the viewers guessing until the very end.
