You can always cover a magnet with a piece of paper and run that through the mixture. The iron fillings will be attracted and you can shake it off when you remove the magnet from the paper wrapping.

A magnet bar, or sample of hematite (magnet stone), will separate the iron from the aluminum.

using displacement. the iron is heavier than the other. so the one that displaces the most water would be the iron. a magnet would work too.

Magnets yes, and you could also try melting them, I believe Aluminium has a much higher melting point, Fe melts out and Al is left behind
