Chemical (acid?) to soften a niche or concrete so hard to break?

Metal Casting
dalton asked:


I’ve seen a round concrete with more or less 4 meters in diameter and about 18 inches thick broken into 3 from a foot of a mountain. Visible from one piece are 7 empty casts probably from gold bars and 2 empty cast contained probably metal box measuring 6 x 6 x 12 inches. We thought a chemical was used to break the concrete.
Now, a friend found a niche down a river. It appeared after an erosion due to a flood. It’s so hard to break. Anyone here knows what kind of chem is that used to soften concrete?

Anthony asked:


After puling the rough cast out of the mold, what is used to polish the metal to a shine? I am talking in specifics to a small necklace heart. I would imagine that a full size buffing wheel would be too big.

I have a cast iron tea pot. It has a letter B marked on the bottom. Is it valuable?

Rob P asked:


Letter B and no other markings on the bottom. It does not say Made in Japan nor is it Wagner or Griswold. What does the B mean? Is there any value in it? It has a spiral metal handle, not wood, if that helps. Thanks!
