Yes, but there is more wood where the beams are.  As I posted, the electronic stud 
finders will detect a stud or even a furring strip, which is underneath a wall made from 
1" tounge and groove wall board.   Finding a beam underneath plywood would be no 
problem.
The effect of the sand or whatever is in the roofing, however, could be a problem.
