That is where BIG magnets come in handy. I'm not sure of the proper
name for them, but they are cheap to rent and come on a pair of wheels
that let you push (or pull) them around the yard. I've seen contractors
using them to clean up after a job (particularly roofing or
re-roofing). It's amazing how well they work. Some can pull a roofing
nail out of 2 or 3 inches of dirt. Next time you drop your ba...er
bearings you might want to look into renting one.
