I was trying a experiment with grandson, We took some sand about 2 cups and put in old glass coffee pot
put muriatic acid on it about 3 cups as he kept saying he could see gold in in and thought if he used the acid
it would make it shinier so easier to pick out, we let it sit for 4 hours used another lab glass to pour off excess. We then rinsed it about 7 times to get all the acid off and let it sit in final bath of water overnight.
What he thought was gold is now a bright silver color! Will Muriatic acid change the color of gold to a silver color. What is this shiny stuff, This was a one time thing I hope but we really would like to know.
