Those beads and findings will be the last to go, but they haven't had much use for a while. Good move with the bear materials!

The barrels I have here came from a friend's house; he worked at a place that did general magnaplate work on restoring industrial equipment (redoing finishes and sending back - I went on a tour, and the most interesting was a huge chrome-plated disk that was a proprietary tool for extruding Cherrios cereal. No photos and non-disclosure form signed.) The barrels had the non-dangerous materials like baking soda and other everyday products in huge volume. Black barrels and blue barrels (a little different, but also plastic with bung holes only on the top).

One barrel in the greenhouse has an old fashioned Lever pump handle, and I use a battery operated pump on the one that was just emptied. And I have two that are squared on the sides that lie on top of cinder blocks and are stacked and I use those to water my outdoor potting table where I start seeds. I envision my daughter catching on to the usefulness of these and getting a couple. I had more, and gave them to a friend who lives out in the West Texas desert.
