I use dirt and ballast from Arizona rock and minerals, and I have not had to sift though it. I know a lot of modelers use it and have not heard of anything about having to sort it .
I'm not certain that removing ferrous particles with a magnet is really necessary, other than to perhaps prevent them from creating rust spots. But since I don't use real dirt in my scenery, I'm not an expert.
Wow, now this is new to me. Cooking the dirt? Makes sense. I can just see what the wife is going to say when she sees me doing this.LOL
