Plastic Pickel barrel screw top

Does anybody know where I can pick up a couple of these locally in the Jackson metro area north to the Belzoni or anywhere along or near that route?

I'm looking for a barrel that has this large tarp of easy screw on off top for easy refill. These barrels are normally 59 gallon size, what I'm looking for doesn't necessarily have to be that large? I've never seen these any businesses in my area that I normally go to and was hoping someone else might point me in the right direction. Thanks

I need at least two of them. I'd say a minimum size preference of 20 gallon up to this full size pictured in the link.

These barrels not need to be brand new.

Easy fill "roll" type of feeder. I've been using pipes but want something bigger. Deer don't seem to mess with these as much.

ah ha! well I am in the brainstorming stage of trying to figure out something cheap that could be used as mold for ballistics gel. I'm just using the cheapo gelatin from grocery. Nothing I have or have found is wide, tall, and deep enough unless I make multiple small molds and stack together. Considered a Lock &Lock bread box, but cant find 2 of them.

Any suggestions? Sorry for the highjack. I can take somewhere else.

Guess I need to go back in there and show them this picture because I did call her the other day at my local co-op. I'm always looking for an excuse to get back inside the Madison County co-op anyway. :wink:

How about a couple of you olemiss fans from the metro area. Of even better students.

Pontotoc is not too far away from Oxford. How about a student pick up three of the best looking ones they have up there and deliver then to me in exchange for a crisp $100 bill.

They must have working caps. You need to check them by screwing the cap on tightly to make sure the barrel or the cap is not cracked in any way otherwise it's a no go.

Anyone interested in helping with this?

I would like to take this time to make my request again. Maybe I didn't explain it clearly?

I live in central Mississippi, the Jackson metro area. I happened to travel to Humphreys County weekly from my job.

Someone mentioned earlier that the barrels I am looking for available in Ponotoc for $18 each. I don't particularly want to drive all the way to Ponotoc for an $18 barrel if I don't have to? That's when I had the bright idea to pay an ole miss college student $50 for delivering them to me.

In my earlier request I had actually relied on someone doing the math to realize there was an easy chance to make a little bit of money for simply delivering these barrels from North Mississippi to me somewhere along my route in central Mississippi.

I stated that I would exchange a brand-new hundred dollar bill for three of these $18 barrels. That $40 + difference ought to cover your fuel expense coming home for a weekend to see your parents one weekend? And depending on your salesmanship you may be able to haggle the store owner out of a few extra dollars per barrel by purchasing more than one. I will round up the delivery fee up to $50.
