Nappa and Ace Hardware both sell Sulfuric acid.

Nappa grade works fine, though the type sold by Ace Hardware as a drain cleaner
is far more concentrated.
As for how to process your Black Sand in order to recover the fines, (Dust, as i
n micron and larger)
Amalgamation is the quick and easy way to go.
Follow the instructions I give, carefully, and you will be safe.
Bellow is a copy of a post that I made in relation to processing black sand to r
ecover the fines.
The best method that I know of for recovering your Gold from the Black Sand woul
d be to put your sand into a Rock Tumbler, or a modified concrete mixer with ste
el balls and a small amount of mercury, then add enough water to completely cove
r the sand. Turn the unit on, and let it operate until all the sand has been cru
shed flour fine to recover all the visible fine gold, as well as any encapsulate
d gold bound up in solid solution with the black sand into the mercury.
Once the sand has been crushed flour fine, carefully pour off the water. The rem
aining sand can be ran through a "Blue Bowl", "Spiral Concentrator", such as a "
Gold Wheel", or carefully panned in order to recover your mercury.
Place a piece of cotton, or filter paper inside a 500cc or larger syringe, then
carefully pour your mercury into the syringe, then replace the plunger and depre
ss it, forcing the free mercury out through the tip into a container.
Conduct the following step outside, or in a well ventilated area only.
Wear rubber or latex gloves while working with the solutions.
The "Gold Amalgam" will be left inside the syringe against the cotton, or filter
paper. Carefully Remove the cotton or filter paper with the gold, and place it
into a Pyrex dish, and cover with a solution of one prt nitric acid, and 4 prts
water. Place the dish on a hot plate from an electric coffee maker, and let gent
ly heat up. The remaining mercury will go into solution, and the gold will remai
n.
Place a coffee filter in a plastic funnel, and then place the funnel into a glas
s dish in order to support it , and act as a reservoir for the solution containi
ng the mercury. Pour the solution from the dish with the gold into the funnel, a
nd let filter. Rinse the dish with some extra water to make sure that all the go
ld has been removed from the dish, and is now into the filter. Spritz the filter
and gold with clean water to remove any remaining nitric solution containing me
rcury, and let drip, as well as sit until dry.
Once dry, The filter and gold can be melted with Borax to produce a single mass
of gold.
Place a piece of copper plate into the nitric solution, and let sit overnight. T
he mercury will drop out of solution as free mercury within the solution, with s
ome adhering to the copper plate, which can be scraped off, and the solution fil
tered to recover the rest.
