Get a magnet and hold the magnet right above the sand so the iron fillings deprecate by attraction to the magnet

Get a magnet in a bag (inside out) and move the magnet all over the sand/iron and you can collect all the iron and turn the bag right side out and zip up the bag. Now you have the sand and iron separated and it will be harder to accidentally mix them later.
