This is a large Chinquapin tree, the biggest I've ever seen. It is related to the chestnut tree. The Indians gathered the small chestnuts or chinquapins for food as they are good to eat. Thanks to my grandfathers who taught me what's good for you in the woods, they are gone now but, I have a treasure that I will pass to my kids.
You are looking for an ammo can in a nice regular type hide...
Congrats to Zuke1313 for the First to Find prize after a couple of days where range missions had the roads closed in the GZ.
