The game’s shared dice roll is adjusted by your Luck before anything reads it, so these chances are not evenly spread — a roll of 6 is not a flat one in six.
Rolled
- Comes out of a Crab Pot, which picks one of 46 things each time — Lakefront, Campsite, Radio Station.
Dug up
- Using Treasure Map 3 at Ranch, with Shovel in hand — 3 at a time.
