You run the sand and gravel over different size screens depending on how many sizes you wish to sort the gravel into. In most large gravel pits, a deposit is sucked up with a pump (with water) through metal pipe up to a steel tower.Using gravity the sand,small pea gravel and larger gravels are separated. In most gravel pits the water turns green over time because of the Iron in the deposits.
