Mill it or bin it?

I've got these big ol lumps of Oak to mill, just not sure if I should spend the time on them or just bin them (some of the other rough bits might go that way). I'd like the challenge but they definitely have signs of decay and are a bit soft in places. Original thinking was to try and cut some posts and boards out with the Lucas (might have to do a bit of mill moving) and work around the soft bits. Or maybe try and get some monster slabs either with my slabber or get someone in with double ended chainsaw mill. Any thoughts?

Where abouts are the logs?
Cut a 6" round off the end.
If it's still mush cut another.
The sapwood hasn't rotted, but the core of one or two is debatable.
By the looks of it, slabs and resin tables.
What diameters?

They are at my yard near Oxford. Sounds like a plan, go to be worth as go as they are fliipin massive!! Butt has got to be 6' diameter and 10' long- took some shifting. We moved them a couple of years ago, not sure how long it had been down before that
