Wild Nuts

Found these on the ground in my local woodland, thought at first they were beechnut or possibly sweet chestnuts does anyone know what they are please,

Nice shot. Definitely not chestnuts but I think you may be right with beechnuts. What did the leaves on the tree look like?

[Peter Grave]

No idea Peter.Nice shot.
