Fool's Gold Lost & Found Full Guide

Dante shouldn't be too tough to take down since he's just a regular crusher. Keep up the pressure and figure out his rhythm to take him down effectively. Once he's gone, you can get the first clue from his corpse to start the mission properly. It mentions a "Retirement Fund" and indicates that you need to loot from the lockers in the Lifeguard Station. You can find them near the front entrance of the station, in a side room. Loot the left locker to receive another note, this time mentioning "The Wheel" and "The Alley by the stores." Time to go find the code we need. 

"The Wheel" refers to the Ferris Wheel, and since the clue also mentions Ice Cream, we have a good idea of where to go. At the back of the Ferris Wheel is an ice cream stand, and behind that stand is a corpse with a phone containing our next clue. One-half of the code is down. Our next location is the tiny little alley to the left side of the strip mall at the top of the map, so head there and pick up Dante's burner phone to discover what actually happened. Watch out for the zombies that spawn outside of the alley once you pick up the phone. 

Finding the Safe

With the code in hand, we can head back to the station and find that chest. Walk the perimeter of the station, and you should soon come across it sticking out of the sand. You'll need to fight off a bunch of zeds before you can actually dig it up. It's pretty close to the fence on one side of the station, so hopefully, with the picture above to help you, you should struggle too badly. Once you've opened the chest, you get a pretty powerful legendary weapon that inflicts heavy bleed damage.
