Simply use a magnet. If the magnet is strong enough, you can simply hold it just above the sawdust and the fillings will come zooming out and onto the magnet. If it is kinda weak, put it in the sawdust and remove. Either way, the fillings will be on the magnet.

One way to separate iron fillings from sawdust is by using a magnet. Place a magnet near the mixture and the iron fillings will be attracted to the magnet, allowing you to easily separate them from the sawdust. Alternatively, you can also use a sieve to filter out the larger iron fillings from the sawdust.
