Find a hunter in bits... (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unearth

'find' is the definition.
(unearthing is a kind of finding)

'a hunter in bits' is the wordplay.
'in bits' indicates anagramming the letters (the bits of the anagram are rearranged).
'a'+'hunter'='ahunter'
'ahunter' is an anagram of 'UNEARTH'.

(Other definitions for unearth that I've seen before include "Track down" , "Disclose" , "Expose" , "Disconnect terminal" , "Dig up or find for haunter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
