rummagers
Those who dig
Rummagers are people who rummage—who search through things by moving items around, typically in a disorderly way.
The word usually describes those who dig through drawers, boxes, or piles looking for something specific, or who browse through secondhand goods: Rummagers at the estate sale picked through boxes of old photographs.
