If you'd give some info on location, habitat, wet/dry, etc it would be pretty easy to ID.
Either a swamp chestnut or white oak though as others have said is the likely species.

50% of all my white oaks are now on the dirt!
100% of the acorns are on the dirt as well....
Heartbreaking to say the least!

Yep all the acorns are on the ground one way or another around here
Do they prefer them best when they are green or dried and turned brown?
Tree is on a hardwood ridge. There are mixtures of trees in this area, and most look like the acorns in duck cutter's picture, but these got my attention as I have never seen them this big. 96 area, no swamp near just a farm pond.
JAB can confirm that there's a Chestnut Oak on a property I hunt that 4 men couldn't reach around. Damnedest tree I know. 2 acorns from it would just about be a meal for any deer in the woods.
I don't need my name in the marquee lights....
Look at the link that lab posted on the prevoius page. Swamp Chestnut and Chestnut oaks are two seperate trees. Page 60 and 66.
You are on the edge for both ranges. I'd compare those two pages and go from there. My experience is with the swamp variety, but on the top of a ridge doesn't sound like a wet area like the swamp chestnut likes.
Chestnut oaks tend to grow on the drier, north facing slopes..... Just saying.
Swamp chestnut ain't gonna be on the piedmont Ridgetop.... Just saying again!

For crying out loud, let's see a picture of a leaf off the tree and put this baby to rest
