First you can use a magnet to get out the iron filings.
Second you could possibly separate the magnesium sulphate from fine sand and zinc powder by using a filter
And finally, Magnesium sulphate dissolves in water while zinc powder is insoluble, so you could use that.

How would you separate a mixture of water sand and iron filling?
Step 1) Swirl a magnet around inside the mixture. This will cause the iron filings to become attracted to the magnet. Step 2) Using a filter and a funnel, pour the mixture into the funnel. This will separate the water and sand.
