I check the beaches fairly regularly and have found the support posts for the front of my workshop, as well as the main support post for the loft. You can see pictures if you click on my blog link below. Unfortunately, I am not the only one checking the beaches and I also don't have the equipment to mill a log ... a friend of mine here has set up a mini mill at his place in the past and used a chainsaw and some kind of jig to mill logs. Might be worth looking into in the future.
