The excavated muck holes are unmarked locations in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout, found 1 block east and slightly north of the Lil' Tyke Playhouse. They are part of the Antique Land side quest.
Description
The excavated muck holes are the result of a pre-War research team researching bio-gas. The muck holes are heavily irradiated, abandoned, contain gas pockets, and contain the soil sample holotapes. **Warning** Be advised if you are partial to flame based weapons, merely stepping into a pocket of gas while equipped with the flamer, Shishkebab, or various other flame weapons, with it drawn, will cause the gas to ignite, setting you on fire. Likewise, drawing such a weapon while standing in gas will also cause it to ignite.
