Turning Lead into Gold: The Most Ridiculously Simple Experiment Ever Conducted

We've all heard of turning lead into gold, but what's the real deal on this age-old myth? We're about to find out. Or, you know, just pretend we're trying to, because, honestly, it's not like it's actually scientifically possible or anything...

Results: coming soon-ish.
