Question:
While in Chincoteague, VA we came across what looked like a coconut shell. We brought it home and cracked it open and discovered a brown seedlike object about the size of a peach. The place we found it was near many different trees including pine trees. What kind of seed could this be? Perhaps a pine cone tree seed?

Replies:
Perhaps helpful.

A web page with many items related to tree fruit in the mid-Atlantic region. Not a pine cone seed anyway.
