Thank you all for the PM’s and suggestions regarding this matter a fellow Marine I know has a magnet for retrieving things that I am going to attempt to retrieve the forend with.
At this point by the time I can make it out to the creek the forend will have been completely submerged in brackish water for around 48 hours so restoration will be needed I assume.
If I can manage to find it or if it’s a total loss I will keep you all updated.
