Name a real event on that side
The closer in years, the more points (up to 100 a round) and the deeper your miner digs. A within-a-year answer digs 1,000 years; a century away, just 25.
III

Years apart → points (gold) → years dug (teal) · a perfect day digs 7,000 years, to the start of recorded time
