There are more oscillators on the post.
The rest of the oscillators seem to be Trice Tongs and Jam in various orientations.
Moral of the story: If it can be found quickly or easily, then it is already known.
EDIT: I retract my statement above, as I was reminded of the Copperhead:

Hold up: not quite. Take the example of the Copperhead: it was found not because of the new search program (although that contributed to the speed at which it was found), but because zdr dared to look where no one else had looked ("A c/10?? We don't have c/8, c/9s!").

I could've chose a better username, but oh well.
I think I've learned the ropes of cellular automata. My current interest is range-two LTLs.

Guys, i made a dirty rake from slightly modifying the MMM breeder in Golly.
Edit: I made a cleaner rake.
Please tell me if these are new or not
They could be new, but probably wouldn't be seen as very important. It's pretty easy to modify a large pattern to do something different. For example, I can delete a swath of stuff (highlighted with markoff) in the back of Solifuge to get an easy camelwise rake.
To be fair, such a modification would be kinda notable in its own right, since Solifuge is the first known camelship and thus the first way a camelwise rake could be made.
