How do you separate lead from dirt?

In solid form you can simply sift the dirt and lead mixture through a sieve-like tool, with the help of a little water to wash the dirt through. The lead will be too big to be washed through the tiny holes. In mineral form, where the lead is the same grain size as the dirt, you will simply have to plant lead-absorbing plants in the dirt, which will absorb the mineral lead.
