Although I am a Proz Member since a long time ago and a full time freelance translator for almost 20 years, this is my first question, as I've decided to be a proactive member from now on, both asking and trying to offer sensible answers. So, here it is:
Toshers and mudlarks are both professions related to sewery in the Victorian London. Both were people who scavenge in the sewers for lost jewelry or valuable pieces. I don't know how to translate these into spanish (if there is a translation at all!).
All your help is appreciated

Estos dos sitios son muy interesantes para leer y ver que los *rapiñadores* eran chicos que esperaban bajo los puentes que les tiraran algunas monedas para después buscarlas en el barro y los toshers rastreaban las alcantarillas.

«toshers» y rapiñadores
It seems there is a translation only for the latter term. The first term is used as-is in Spanish texts:
"Los toshers londinenses"
http://exapamicron.wordpress.com/2008/04/22/los-toshers-lond...
"«Tosher» era el nombre que se daba a los que vagaban por las cloacas buscando objetos perdidos."
http://allbooks.org.ua/uploads/files/173588.fb2
"Brooker, un llamativo personaje de casi dos metros de altura, no es el típico buscador de objetos perdidos. Es uno de los 45 integrantes de la Sociedad de Rapiñadores del Támesis (Society of Thames Mudlarks), que tienen el permiso de la Autoridad Portuaria de Londres para hurgar en la costa norte entre Westminster - sede del Gobierno -, al oeste del casco antiguo, y la Torre de Londres, al este."
