Lucky Strike

Lucky Strike is a repeatable quest in Fallout 76.

The player character starts this quest by reading maps bought from a U-Mine-It! vending machine or by looking at posters.

Quick walkthrough
Fetch the right equipment (gas mask or similar apparel to avoid sludge lung), go to the digging site marked on the map and excavate away.

Detailed walkthrough
On the world map, a small area in the Ash Heap will be highlighted for the quest. Once the player has traveled there, a medium-sized mound of dirt will be present on the ground and can be interacted with. No special equipment is needed (such as a shovel or pickaxe).

Once in the area, the dig site can be difficult to spot, as it will move scenery with it. The player might have to be looking almost straight down to interact with it. Crouching can assist by making the mound closer to eye level which aids with the register for the mound.

Once the lump is interacted with, the quest will complete, awarding metal scrap (including lead, concrete, black titanium, gold, and aluminum) which can be used in crafting.
