FOSSICK
fossick:
- to search for any object (e.g. gold) by which to make gain; to search around or rummage for a possible profit
Example: "We must go and fossick for a bit now," I said, "just for enough to make the pot boil; but we won't take any more of your 'tucker,' Mrs. Mangrove, without paying." [Reference: Rolf Boldrewood, The Miner's Right, a Tale of the Australian Goldfields]
