"The Official Directory to U.S. Flea Markets lists more than 800 locations across the country each year. These markets range from weekly gatherings that feature tube socks and rusty garden tools to seasonal or yearly shows that specialize in high-end antiques. Serious collectors say the following flea markets, which we selected for the variety of their offerings as well as their locations, are all worth a visit. 1. Adamstown, Pennsylvania (717-484-4385). June 24-25; September 30-October 1.* Held three times a year -- in April, June, and September -- Adamstown includes several shows (check for different hours). At the adjacent Stoudt&amp;#039;s Black Angus Antique Mall on Route 272, dealers are set up indoors as well as under pavilions.
