Those aren't conkers!
I am not sure if they are Beech-nuts or are sweet (edible) Chestnuts, but they are not the Horse-chestnut fruit and seeds.
I'm going to try to cultivate some conkers and acorns again. I tried a few horse-chestnuts a few years ago. Only one sprouted, but after struggling to about six inches high the poor little sapling gave up and died.

@ArishMell Sweet chestnuts. Good for roasting, but you'll be in for a long haul if you try to play conkers with them! 🙂

@SunshineGirl Yes - I am not a great fan of nuts but have enjoyed barbeque-roasted chestnuts occasionally.
