Very much looks like it. *It was certainly on its own and was fossicking

Hmmm.. *Fossicking. *I've just learned a new word.

;-) *I have no idea of its origins or even if it's a 'real' word but it does
describe such an action perfectly.
Oh, it does exist (I looked it up as soon as I saw it), and it is
exactly appropriate to what you described. Which is why I find it
such a fantastic new word for my collection :-)

Glad you like it. ;-)
