There was a news article recently about mudlarks. It got me thinking of these various terms.- Beachcomber (someone who walks along a beach looking for valuable or interesting items)
- Mudlark (someone who scavenfes in river mud lookiung forobjets of value)
- Scavenger (someone who searches for and collects discarded items)
- Forager (someone who searches widely for food or provisions)
- Treasure hunter (someone who searches for suken, buried, lost or hidden treasure and other artifacts)
- Scrounger (someone who searches about and turns up something needed from whatever source available)
- Rummager (someone who searches for soemthingdifficult to find among other things)
- Gatherer (someone who collects things or forages for them)
- Collecter (someone who collects objects togerher, ususally becasue they are valuable or interestng)
- Hoarder (someone who collects large amouonts of something and keeps it for themselves, often ina secret place)
(A detectorist is someone whose hobby is usinga metal detector to locate lost coins, etc)
