Their mission is to find every hidden treasure that people do not even know about and film them for everyone to see.
In their journey to find hidden treasures the couple has been mesmerized by the beautiful country side of the back roads of rural America.

The series was hatched out (excuse the pun) after Fett (AKA Mr. Peacock) made an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2008, ( https://youtu.be/r0S6cfrivyA ) Many people asked him what he was going to do now that he had been on the Tonight Show and he said, “create my own TV show”, and that is what he did with the web series, Mr. Peacock & Friends, Hidden Treasures.
The couple was also inspired by the late Charles Kuralt who sent his crew out to their peacock farm in the mid 1990’s to film a segment for his show called, "On the road". Unfortunately, Charles Kuralt passed away before he was able to come to their peacock farm to do the final segment for the show.
Mr. Kuralt inspired Fett & Buck to find and film places such as: a castle in Iowa, treasure in a sunken steamboat, the world's largest cornstalk, a beetle spider, Bridges of Madison County, a mermaid in Iowa, a Danish windmill in Iowa, a tree in the middle of the road, the largest frying pan, and John Wayne's birthplace, to name a few.
The series will be filmed until Mr. & Mrs. Peacock find every hidden treasure around the countryside.
Today, they have filmed approximately 109 hidden treasures and counting. And are currently filming more hidden treasures and releasing them as they are completed on their YouTube channel.
