There are sand point driven tiny wells 10 to 25 feet deep with a 2 inch pipe; there are 8 inch across drilled deep wells 800 feet deep; there are bored wells 3 feet across and 20-70 feet deep.
There are submersible pumps, jet pumps, piston pumps.
The water in your well may accumulate slowly over a whole day and stay kinda low in the well. Or it may gush in at 800 gallons a minute and come up to within 40 feet of the surface.
Each combination of those 3 things would require a bit different way of approaching how to get water out of the well, or what one could even consider. We can't cover every possible combination for you.......
You really, really, really need to describe exactly what you have. There are some really good well folk on this site, but you need to give them the info on what you have, what was there, do you still have live electricity nearby, is any of the pressure tank or piping still around, etc.
If you don't have a clue what I'm talking about that is ok, we can talk you through all that, and as mentioned a picture would be worth a lot.
But just saying, you will need to answer a lot of questions first, before you will get a useful answer that helps your exact situation.
And yes, if you want to hand pump water to water a garden, you will be able to compete in the weight lifting competitions because you will be putting a -lot- of work into that endeavor....
