As long as the particles of sand and pebbles are of different size, you can separate them using a sieve (sifter). The smaller sand particles will pass through the sieve whereas the pebble molecules will not. This is the process that occurs in sifters sold as children's toys.

If you don't have a sieve, you can put them in a container and shake the container. The larger items end up on top and you can pick them out by hand.

Use a strainer and put the sand and pebbles in the strainer (the strainers holes have to be big enough to let the sand fall through but not the pebbles,) when the sand and pebbles are in then rinse with water until sand is washed away. :)

Does salt water or fresh water filter sand gravel soil and pebbles better and why?
Water does not filter particles: it is the other way around. Pebbles, gravel, and sand are used to filter water, with the smallest particle size (sand) filtering the most particulates from the water, whether it is salt water or fresh water.

Can you separate sand salt pebbles and iron fillings?
Sure, that's easy. First, pull out the iron filings with a magnet. Separate the pebbles by pouring the mixture through a grate, with holes large enough to allow the sand and salt to fall through, but not large enough to allow the pebbles to fall through. Finally, to separate the sand and the salt, just add water. The salt will dissolve, the sand won't. If you want to recover the salt in solid form, you can then boil away the water in the salt solution, and get your salt back. Done.
