In general, you look for differences in physical properties, like magnetism, solubity, density etc. Iron is a good candidate for magnetic separation. Salt (NaCl) is soluble - it dissolves in water (and can later be recrystallized by heating.) Lead remains when the other marterials are carried off. /Brian W
