Zabrunski,
welcome to the forum.
HCl, Muriatic acid, hydrochloric acid, can be bought at hardware stores, or where they sell brick, it is used to clean concrete. I get it for less than $7.00 (U.S.).
Many of the things we use for recovery or refining can be found in regular stores, some things can be ordered; some things can be made,
