In Episode 13 of Antiques Road Trip season 9, two experts set off on a new adventure to discover valuable antiques and collectibles across the scenic countryside of the United Kingdom. The series showcases some of the best antique hunting routes throughout the country where the experts compete with each other to find the most valuable antiques to be sold at auction.

In this episode, the two experts are Margie Cooper and Charles Hanson, two experienced and knowledgeable antique dealers. Margie, with her love for jewelry and collectibles, plans to find the best deals and make great profits from her purchases. She hopes to add a few valuable pieces to her personal collection, as well. Charles, on the other hand, is a seasoned antiques dealer with a keen eye for furniture and decorative art. He aims to find unique and valuable pieces that will make his clients happy.

The first stop on this week's Road Trip is in the historic town of Stamford, located in the heart of Lincolnshire. The duo visits an antique market located in an old church, where vendors sell a wide range of antiques from vintage clothing, furniture, pottery, and many other collectibles. The market offers Margie a chance to explore some of the unique accessories, collectibles and jewelry sets, while Charles fixates on some of the antique furniture on display.

Their next stop is the Stamford Auction Rooms, where they meet an experienced auctioneer and get an insight into the UK auction circuit. The duo's goal is not only to find valuable antiques, but also to learn about their history and production, which will help them in their antiques search. Here, Margie and Charles explore various crafts including, pottery, paintings, sculptures, and other collectibles before heading out to their next stop.

The next stop is a visit to the cathartic city of Peterborough, where they meet a dealer who specializes in unique English pottery and porcelain pieces. Margie finds a lovely piece of jewelry while Charles is in awe of some of the delicate tableware on display.

At the East Anglia Transport Museum in Lowestoft, our expert antique hunters come across a variety of unique antiques. The museum possesses a unique collection of trains and vintage cars, many of which are noteworthy for their artistic design and engineering craft. Car lovers and collectors alike will particularly enjoy this segment of the show.

Margie and Charles then head to Kessingland, where they visit a fascinating antique store that specializes in pottery. The duo has a chance to learn the history of vintage pottery, the different techniques for producing them, and the various styles that have evolved over the centuries. The shop is a treasure trove of pottery, with a vast collection of different styles and designs. There's something for everyone, from hand-painted bowls and plates to intricately carved vases and urns.

Margie and Charles' final stop is a visit to an auction house in Chiswick, London, where they head to sell their valuable finds. They have one final chance to acquire a few more quality, auction-worthy antiques before the auction takes place. Will they be able to make it in time?

As always, the two experts engage in friendly banter and wit as they compete to find the most valuable antiques and make the greatest profits.
