▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Tra-la-la, doo-dah, doo-dah-dah!	(0:00:01.45)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Let's crack and split! With our hammers!	(0:00:05.19)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Boom! Crack! Split! All day long!	(0:00:08.43)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san, promise that I'll get to use this today?	(0:00:12.55)
▶ Nagi Arato : Yup, I promise. I'm counting on you.	(0:00:15.98)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : That means we'll find some pretty stones, right?	(0:00:20.44)
▶ Nagi Arato : We sure will. I think you'll like them.	(0:00:23.63)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Yay!	(0:00:26.11)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Let's dig 'em up and take 'em home!	(0:00:27.09)
▶ Nagi Arato : Oh, an old test pit.	(0:00:32.51)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Test pit?	(0:00:34.76)
▶ Nagi Arato : A hole dug up by people.	(0:00:36.20)
▶ Nagi Arato : It's to test whether to use the site as a mine.	(0:00:38.51)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : What were they digging for?	(0:00:41.84)
▶ Nagi Arato : There aren't any records to say for sure,	(0:00:43.36)
▶ Nagi Arato : but according to locals, they were looking for gold.	(0:00:45.80)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Gold?!	(0:00:48.98)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : You mean there's gold here?	(0:00:49.90)
▶ Nagi Arato : The people who were here thought so.	(0:00:51.86)
▶ Nagi Arato : But their search ended with a test pit.	(0:00:54.67)
▶ Nagi Arato : Besides, who knows if they were really looking for go—	(0:00:57.34)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : We gotta get going!	(0:00:59.86)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Gold! Gold! Gold!	(0:01:01.04)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san, you found a spot this deep in the mountains all by yourself?	(0:02:41.60)
▶ Nagi Arato : Of course not.	(0:02:46.98)
▶ Nagi Arato : This is one of the many spots found over time by generations of alumni before me.	(0:02:48.14)
▶ Nagi Arato : I told my colleagues I'd bring a friend here today,	(0:02:53.36)
▶ Nagi Arato : and they asked me to bring back a sample for our research group.	(0:02:55.52)
▶ Nagi Arato : So now, it's my turn to contribute to our study.	(0:02:59.35)
▶ Nagi Arato : Should we take another break?	(0:03:03.99)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : It's okay, I can keep moving!	(0:03:05.77)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Whoa, what a huge rock.	(0:03:12.34)
▶ Nagi Arato : This is our search site for today.	(0:03:15.96)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : All right! Let's find some gold!	(0:03:22.80)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Finally... that makes five... rocks split...	(0:03:30.55)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : All for nothing!	(0:03:35.21)
▶ Nagi Arato : You're wasting your strength doing it that way.	(0:03:37.37)
▶ Nagi Arato : Here, try holding the hammer lower.	(0:03:39.88)
▶ Nagi Arato : It's all in the wrist, right before impact.	(0:03:43.83)
▶ Nagi Arato : Keep your elbow tucked to your side and start higher.	(0:03:52.82)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : That was a lot quicker.	(0:04:00.35)
▶ Nagi Arato : Much better. Way to use your arm.	(0:04:02.07)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Now I just need to find some gold.	(0:04:05.08)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : What should I do with the gold I find?	(0:04:10.08)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : First, I'll get the newest smartphone.	(0:04:12.72)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Not to mention a new bicycle.	(0:04:14.61)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : And I'll have sweets all day, every day!	(0:04:16.33)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Huh?	(0:04:19.86)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san! I did it, I did it!	(0:04:21.63)
▶ Nagi Arato : Whoa, what's up?	(0:04:24.33)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Look! Look! I found gold!	(0:04:26.25)
▶ Nagi Arato : Oh, that's pyrite.	(0:04:28.55)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Pyrite?	(0:04:31.02)
▶ Nagi Arato : A mineral of iron and sulfur.	(0:04:32.39)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : No way it's iron! Look!	(0:04:35.59)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : It's gold! Just look at the color!	(0:04:38.39)
▶ Nagi Arato : Yup. Not the best crystal, but it's pyrite for sure.	(0:04:40.87)
▶ Nagi Arato : See how the color isn't so much gold as it is brass?	(0:04:45.11)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Well, that makes no sense to me!	(0:04:47.88)
▶ Nagi Arato : Hang tight.	(0:04:51.66)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Huh?	(0:04:57.85)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Hey! What are you doing?!	(0:05:01.76)
▶ Nagi Arato : Look.	(0:05:07.72)
▶ Nagi Arato : I just scratched off the golden bit.	(0:05:09.26)
▶ Nagi Arato : See how it's black?	(0:05:12.17)
▶ Nagi Arato : We can identify minerals by the color of their powder,	(0:05:13.37)
▶ Nagi Arato : which is called a streak.	(0:05:15.67)
▶ Nagi Arato : White powder means it's a crystal, and black means it's pyrite.	(0:05:17.96)
▶ Nagi Arato : If it's real gold, the streak would be gold, not black.	(0:05:20.97)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I bet you're trying to dupe me, Nagi-san.	(0:05:25.10)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : You're planning to play on my innocence and hoard all the gold to yourself!	(0:05:29.02)
▶ Nagi Arato : Uh-oh. Umm...	(0:05:33.26)
▶ Nagi Arato : Try scratching the golden part with your finger.	(0:05:35.78)
▶ Nagi Arato : Now sniff it.	(0:05:41.45)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Reeks of iron!	(0:05:44.28)
▶ Nagi Arato : Because it is iron.	(0:05:46.77)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : But I was planning to eat cake all day, every day...	(0:05:47.89)
▶ Nagi Arato : That's too bad.	(0:05:51.27)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : What's it worth, though?	(0:05:52.55)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : It may not be gold, but if it's this pretty...	(0:05:53.74)
▶ Nagi Arato : Pyrite is a commonly found mineral.	(0:05:56.78)
▶ Nagi Arato : It's not worth much in terms of monetary value.	(0:05:59.20)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Darn you! Stupid rock!	(0:06:02.36)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : All this golden sparkle is just for show?	(0:06:04.72)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Isn't it good for anything?!	(0:06:06.86)
▶ Nagi Arato : Let's see, sulfur is usually extracted from crude oil.	(0:06:08.41)
▶ Nagi Arato : And other materials are better sources of iron.	(0:06:11.89)
▶ Nagi Arato : So there's not much industrial demand for it, either.	(0:06:15.41)
▶ Nagi Arato : But its crystals are beautiful.	(0:06:18.32)
▶ Nagi Arato : That's definitely worth looking for.	(0:06:20.14)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Like that's any motivation now...	(0:06:21.83)
▶ Nagi Arato : There you go.	(0:06:40.60)
▶ Nagi Arato : That right there's a pyrite crystal.	(0:06:42.26)
▶ Nagi Arato : Take a closer look.	(0:06:44.57)
▶ Nagi Arato : See how it's shaped like a die?	(0:06:45.76)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : What? You mean nature did this ?	(0:06:51.18)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : But it's so unnaturally square .	(0:06:53.08)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Huh... I-I guess I can keep it.	(0:06:56.14)
▶ Nagi Arato : You'll find something even better if you keep looking.	(0:06:59.14)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Phew. When did I manage to find so many?	(0:07:06.53)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : And to think they're all pyrite.	(0:07:08.91)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : All worthless, even though they look just like gold.	(0:07:11.04)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Think of how rich I could be if they were real gold.	(0:07:14.66)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : What the—?	(0:07:19.63)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san! I found something weird!	(0:07:20.89)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : This pyrite isn't shaped like a die.	(0:07:27.59)
▶ Nagi Arato : Hold still, let me see.	(0:07:31.95)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I thought you weren't interested in the pyrite here.	(0:07:34.27)
▶ Nagi Arato : Listen closely.	(0:07:38.42)
▶ Nagi Arato : There are usually multiple crystal types for any given mineral.	(0:07:39.82)
▶ Nagi Arato : In the case of pyrite, there's over ten variations, including the die.	(0:07:45.78)
▶ Nagi Arato : Temperature and pressure affect crystal formation.	(0:07:51.20)
▶ Nagi Arato : Same goes for iron and sulfur content, or even the presence of other minerals.	(0:07:53.52)
▶ Nagi Arato : That said, crystals from the same location are usually uniform in shape.	(0:07:59.16)
▶ Nagi Arato : That's why all the crystals here are cube-shaped.	(0:08:02.83)
▶ Nagi Arato : Or so I was told.	(0:08:06.32)
▶ Nagi Arato : I've never seen a pyritohedron produced here.	(0:08:07.87)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : It's a first for you, too?	(0:08:11.18)
▶ Nagi Arato : Maybe we were wrong about how this pyrite was produced.	(0:08:13.04)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : So? Is this shape that rare? Is it expensive?	(0:08:16.63)
▶ Nagi Arato : In another site, these would be all you'd find.	(0:08:20.06)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : What? So it's still just ordinary pyrite?	(0:08:22.23)
▶ Nagi Arato : Not exactly.	(0:08:25.46)
▶ Nagi Arato : Its value lies in the fact that we found it here,	(0:08:27.15)
▶ Nagi Arato : somewhere we thought it didn't exist.	(0:08:29.56)
▶ Nagi Arato : That in itself is extremely valuable.	(0:08:31.73)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : So it'll sell for a ton?!	(0:08:34.08)
▶ Nagi Arato : Not that kind of value.	(0:08:35.98)
▶ Nagi Arato : Say you find a lump of gold.	(0:08:38.41)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Hey, gold!	(0:08:39.04)
▶ Nagi Arato : If it's a place known to have gold,	(0:08:40.47)
▶ Nagi Arato : there's not much value besides monetary gain.	(0:08:42.78)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : But I thought value was just what it sells for.	(0:08:46.25)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Isn't that enough?	(0:08:48.55)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Does any other type of value even exist?	(0:08:51.54)
▶ Nagi Arato : Sure does.	(0:08:53.80)
▶ Nagi Arato : If it's from a place known to not have gold...	(0:08:54.64)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Oh, gold...	(0:08:57.77)
▶ Nagi Arato : That discovery would rewrite the world as we know it.	(0:09:00.01)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Shiny gold!	(0:09:00.27)
▶ Nagi Arato : That's value beyond money.	(0:09:02.92)
▶ Nagi Arato : The fact that you found it would completely flip conventional wisdom and theory.	(0:09:05.32)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Y-You mean this, too?	(0:09:11.36)
▶ Nagi Arato : I'd say it has that potential.	(0:09:13.10)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : H-How's that even possible?	(0:09:15.96)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : This thing could change the entire world?	(0:09:17.46)
▶ Nagi Arato : To put it very simply, what was conventionally thought to be like this...	(0:09:20.37)
▶ Nagi Arato : ...has the potential to change to this.	(0:09:26.39)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : That's barely anything.	(0:09:29.91)
▶ Nagi Arato : You think so?	(0:09:33.28)
▶ Nagi Arato : It may not be a huge change, but I find it really exciting.	(0:09:46.67)
▶ Nagi Arato : That rock gives ordinary people like us the power to directly	(0:09:51.93)
▶ Nagi Arato : leave our mark on humanity's understanding of the world.	(0:09:54.89)
▶ Nagi Arato : Sure, monetary value might be more straightforward.	(0:10:04.03)
▶ Nagi Arato : But when we get too caught up in numbers...	(0:10:10.29)
▶ Nagi Arato : it can narrow our perspective.	(0:10:13.66)
▶ Nagi Arato : This rock may not amount to much in terms of price,	(0:10:16.05)
▶ Nagi Arato : but there are other ways to assess its worth.	(0:10:19.18)
▶ Nagi Arato : Its true potential is priceless.	(0:10:21.83)
▶ Nagi Arato : That kind of value is just as appealing, don't you think?	(0:10:25.48)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : This one. And this one, too.	(0:10:40.39)
▶ Nagi Arato : You're really taking all those home?	(0:10:42.33)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Yup!	(0:10:44.67)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : This one has a big crystal.	(0:10:45.70)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : And this one has crystals stuck together in a funny way.	(0:10:47.77)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : And then there's...	(0:10:50.51)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : This one!	(0:10:52.01)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : This one's for you, Nagi-san!	(0:10:53.70)
▶ Nagi Arato : You sure?	(0:10:56.64)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Yup!	(0:10:57.89)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : It's better that you have it, for sure!	(0:10:58.84)
▶ Nagi Arato : Okay, if you say so.	(0:11:02.83)
▶ Nagi Arato : Thanks.	(0:11:08.01)
▶ Nagi Arato : I'll take you to find whatever you want in return.	(0:11:09.74)
▶ Nagi Arato : What do you want most?	(0:11:13.09)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Gold!	(0:11:14.40)
▶ Nagi Arato : I actually admire that about you, Ruri.	(0:11:26.63)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I get it already, Nagi-san!	(0:11:29.35)
▶ Nagi Arato : We'll go hunt for gold next time.	(0:11:34.06)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Mkay.	(0:11:36.93)
▶ Nagi Arato : Ready?	(0:11:52.52)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Yup!	(0:11:53.53)
▶ Nagi Arato : Ruri, got the pan?	(0:11:57.26)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Here!	(0:11:58.37)
▶ Nagi Arato : All right, let's take a look.	(0:11:59.87)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Find any?	(0:12:10.93)
▶ Nagi Arato : Not sure yet.	(0:12:11.93)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Is that it?!	(0:12:15.74)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : It's shiny, I guess.	(0:12:22.62)
▶ Nagi Arato : That's placer gold.	(0:12:24.41)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Gold?!	(0:12:25.75)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Yay! Finally!	(0:12:26.78)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Finally, I found me some gold!	(0:12:29.12)
▶ Nagi Arato : It wasn't supposed to rain until tonight.	(0:12:35.41)
▶ Nagi Arato : Oh well. Let's call it a day.	(0:12:38.03)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : But we're just getting started!	(0:12:39.55)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Real gold.	(0:12:46.81)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Next time, I'll bring home a ton more.	(0:12:48.37)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san! Nagi-san!	(0:12:59.26)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I just saw the news.	(0:13:00.56)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : So, the river with gold today...	(0:13:02.48)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Yeah. Okay.	(0:13:05.52)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : How are you so calm at a time like this?!	(0:13:07.84)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : The placer gold! It's all gonna wash away!	(0:13:10.97)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : It looks totally different from last week.	(0:13:22.90)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : That huge boulder wasn't there.	(0:13:25.36)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : How'd that driftwood get here?	(0:13:27.83)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : The placer gold's gone for sure.	(0:13:29.16)
▶ Nagi Arato : Here you go.	(0:13:32.25)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Think it's still here?	(0:13:33.60)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Hey, Nagi-san?	(0:13:38.67)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : What's with all the cars today?	(0:13:40.09)
▶ Nagi Arato : The river's swelled quite a bit.	(0:13:42.03)
▶ Nagi Arato : I wouldn't be surprised if they were looking for gold, too.	(0:13:46.95)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : See, everyone's worried about the gold.	(0:13:49.86)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : You never know what you have until it's gone...	(0:13:52.80)
▶ Nagi Arato : Actually, it's the opposite.	(0:13:55.53)
▶ Nagi Arato : Just because it's the same place, doesn't mean your odds are the same.	(0:13:57.93)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : But isn't there less gold because of the rain?	(0:14:02.27)
▶ Nagi Arato : I wouldn't be so sure.	(0:14:05.72)
▶ Nagi Arato : Why don't you try asking the sky again?	(0:14:07.36)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : The sky?	(0:14:11.13)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : This is gonna take forever!	(0:14:24.55)
▶ Nagi Arato : You have to shake it harder.	(0:14:28.18)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Won't the gold spill out?	(0:14:31.15)
▶ Nagi Arato : Nope.	(0:14:33.30)
▶ Nagi Arato : Even iron only has a specific gravity of 8.	(0:14:34.73)
▶ Nagi Arato : Compare that to gold, which is much heavier at 19.	(0:14:37.55)
▶ Nagi Arato : It'll sink the more you shake, so don't worry about it spilling out.	(0:14:40.54)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Found some! They were here all along.	(0:14:46.11)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Wow, there's three of them.	(0:14:49.28)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : So bad weather brings more placer gold?	(0:14:51.81)
▶ Nagi Arato : That's right.	(0:14:54.60)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : How though?	(0:14:56.90)
▶ Nagi Arato : Think about when gold moves.	(0:14:58.17)
▶ Nagi Arato : Gold is over twice the weight of iron.	(0:15:00.73)
▶ Nagi Arato : It barely moves in a normal current.	(0:15:03.58)
▶ Nagi Arato : But with the help of a greater force...	(0:15:05.88)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Like the recent storm!	(0:15:08.26)
▶ Nagi Arato : Exactly.	(0:15:10.08)
▶ Nagi Arato : Like you said, the gold we found the other day probably did wash away.	(0:15:11.10)
▶ Nagi Arato : But at the same time, it supplied new placer gold from the mountains upstream.	(0:15:15.54)
▶ Nagi Arato : The storm brought more gold than it washed away.	(0:15:20.15)
▶ Nagi Arato : Right now, this spot is a pristine, untapped site.	(0:15:23.50)
▶ Nagi Arato : The heavy rain created ideal conditions, both in quality and quantity.	(0:15:26.88)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Ideal conditions, both in quality and quantity!	(0:15:31.49)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : What if we find a lump of gold?	(0:15:34.96)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I'll go grab a bucket!	(0:15:37.31)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I didn't notice how big this spot was last week with that boulder.	(0:15:47.06)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Do you think this rock...	(0:15:51.56)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Um, Nagi-san?	(0:15:58.65)
▶ Nagi Arato : A pothole...	(0:16:01.32)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : What's this? Did someone do some construction here?	(0:16:03.38)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Earth to Nagi-san.	(0:16:09.25)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san, pay attention!	(0:16:13.03)
▶ Nagi Arato : O-Oh, right. Sorry.	(0:16:14.58)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Jeez! What did you just say?	(0:16:16.35)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : A what-hole?	(0:16:18.63)
▶ Nagi Arato : A pothole.	(0:16:19.71)
▶ Nagi Arato : It's a natural hole made from carved bedrock.	(0:16:20.84)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : It's natural?	(0:16:23.53)
▶ Nagi Arato : It happens when a rock slips underneath and swirls around due to the current.	(0:16:25.69)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : What's that mean?	(0:16:29.68)
▶ Nagi Arato : Placer gold may have collected at the bottom.	(0:16:31.45)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : No way! Tell me more!	(0:16:34.22)
▶ Nagi Arato : Since gold is so heavy, it sinks deeper with time,	(0:16:36.41)
▶ Nagi Arato : eventually going beyond the reach of humans.	(0:16:40.40)
▶ Nagi Arato : That's why I pulled a plant to start.	(0:16:43.20)
▶ Nagi Arato : Because their roots grab onto placer gold.	(0:16:45.96)
▶ Nagi Arato : Depending on the depth, potholes are even more effective at that.	(0:16:49.69)
▶ Nagi Arato : This one's a decent size with plenty of depth.	(0:16:54.74)
▶ Nagi Arato : Once gold slips in, there's no coming out.	(0:16:57.90)
▶ Nagi Arato : It only collects more.	(0:17:00.00)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I smell jackpot!	(0:17:01.45)
▶ Nagi Arato : Judging from its state, no one's been here yet.	(0:17:05.17)
▶ Nagi Arato : I have a shovel in my car, but we might be better off grabbing more gear.	(0:17:08.74)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : But Nagi-san...	(0:17:12.84)
▶ Nagi Arato : Right, there are other people here.	(0:17:14.38)
▶ Nagi Arato : Typically, placer gold hunters search multiple spots.	(0:17:16.86)
▶ Nagi Arato : It's very likely that someone will beat us to it.	(0:17:19.73)
▶ Nagi Arato : Now may be our only chance, but we've got our work cut out for us.	(0:17:22.82)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Okay, Nagi-san.	(0:17:31.19)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I'll go get it.	(0:17:37.78)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : So cold!	(0:17:43.20)
▶ Nagi Arato : You okay?	(0:17:44.74)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Yup! I-I'm good!	(0:17:45.87)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Nagi-san, find any?	(0:17:55.13)
▶ Nagi Arato : Nope.	(0:17:57.16)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : How about now?	(0:18:01.06)
▶ Nagi Arato : Nope.	(0:18:02.39)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Still no luck?	(0:18:05.34)
▶ Nagi Arato : Found some.	(0:18:09.64)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : 68 grains of placer gold!	(0:18:33.78)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : It felt like we found a ton, but combined it doesn't look like much.	(0:18:36.10)
▶ Nagi Arato : Wanna melt them all together?	(0:18:39.40)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Nah, you don't get it. That's not what it's about!	(0:18:40.95)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : We wouldn't have gotten so many without the rain last week.	(0:18:45.56)
▶ Nagi Arato : That's right.	(0:18:50.17)
▶ Nagi Arato : Over time, heavy rain carried sediment containing placer gold down from the mountains,	(0:18:51.57)
▶ Nagi Arato : which hid them here until the recent rainfall finally revealed them to us.	(0:18:55.85)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : It really does have everything to do with the weather.	(0:19:01.42)
▶ Nagi Arato : It's important to value connections that aren't in plain sight.	(0:19:07.46)
▶ Nagi Arato : New connections bring new discoveries.	(0:19:11.22)
▶ Nagi Arato : There's still so much we don't know about nature.	(0:19:15.61)
▶ Nagi Arato : When one discovery isn't enough to satisfy you,	(0:19:19.83)
▶ Nagi Arato : you'll want to learn more with your own eyes.	(0:19:22.21)
▶ Nagi Arato : And that mindset will help you gain so much more.	(0:19:25.00)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : The sky directly affects the amount of hidden placer gold.	(0:19:36.64)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I get that now, but it still feels weird.	(0:19:39.98)
▶ Nagi Arato : If you want to study rocks, you have to look beyond rocks.	(0:19:42.19)
▶ Nagi Arato : Otherwise, you'll only get so far.	(0:19:44.86)
▶ Nagi Arato : We're actually up against all of Mother Nature.	(0:19:48.14)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Yup.	(0:19:52.38)
▶ Nagi Arato : All right. Ready to head home?	(0:19:54.41)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Hang on.	(0:19:58.86)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : There's still some at the bottom.	(0:20:00.76)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I'll grab the last bit by hand.	(0:20:03.85)
▶ Nagi Arato : You're going underwater?	(0:20:05.84)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : I gotta see it with my own eyes, right?	(0:20:07.58)
▶ Nagi Arato : I've heard of a rare form of large, lopsided placer gold.	(0:20:42.42)
▶ Nagi Arato : Though its origin isn't fully understood.	(0:20:46.31)
▶ Nagi Arato : First, sediment accumulates on top of placer gold.	(0:20:49.28)
▶ Nagi Arato : Then, pieces of placer gold bond together due to pressure.	(0:20:53.16)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : That's all it takes to make giant placer gold?	(0:20:58.49)
▶ Nagi Arato : It doesn't form all at once.	(0:21:00.91)
▶ Nagi Arato : Placer gold climbs mountains through crustal movement.	(0:21:03.44)
▶ Nagi Arato : Then as rocks erode and deteriorate,	(0:21:06.11)
▶ Nagi Arato : placer gold breaks off and flows back down the river,	(0:21:09.21)
▶ Nagi Arato : where the weight of sediment compresses them again.	(0:21:12.30)
▶ Nagi Arato : They say this cycle repeats itself over a long period of time	(0:21:16.96)
▶ Nagi Arato : to create giant nuggets like these.	(0:21:20.34)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : You mean this might have taken like 10,000 years to make?	(0:21:21.75)
▶ Nagi Arato : If that theory holds, it should take well over a million years.	(0:21:27.70)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : O-One million?	(0:21:31.23)
▶ Nagi Arato : Or even ten times more than that.	(0:21:33.03)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Ten million?!	(0:21:34.98)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : You've been waiting that long, huh?	(0:21:41.47)
▶ Nagi Arato : By the way, you could sell that placer gold as a sample for a pretty hefty price.	(0:21:51.21)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Sell it?	(0:21:55.87)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : Nuh-uh.	(0:21:59.46)
▶ Ruri Tanigawa : No way I'm ever, ever letting it go!	(0:22:00.42)
