Put them all in a bucket of water. Pour off the mixture of sawdust and salt. A magnet will pull off the nails, leaving the marbles. Can I have a marble?

Use a magnet to remove the nails. a sieve (type of filter) to remove the marbles, then add the salt and sawdust to water to dissolve the salt. Filter the salt solution to remove the sawdust and then evaporate the water from the salt solution to obtain salt.

First place them in a bucket of water and by sedimentation the saw dust should float thus this can be separated first and then use just boil the water to and by segregation u should be able to separate them.

Why would you want to separate them in the first place ? Just buy new ones.
