Anyone who digs in the ground or mines, specifically in search of something buried. Can be more loosely used to include digging for other reasons. Variations include forty-nining and forty-nined, et al.
Look, ma! That dirty forty-niner just dug himself up some pirates booty!

I was going to go forty-nining at the beach today, but I read that those areas have all been forty-nined already.

Get the forty-niner mug.
