Nice Find. I would have walked on them and not noticed.

Greae find. I am just curious what area of the state you were in. North Central or South. Not looking for specific, just area of state. Thank you

I'm really up-set. You found my secret spot. I planted those there last year and was just waiting for them to get a little bigger before picking them !! 5jx 5jx 5jx

I gotta tell you that's one heck of a nice find 5z5
Ya, makes me jealous too u00

If that was me, I'd most likely walked all over them, and not found a one !!

Congratulations on a great find !!! dxzq

I just like that word and had to say it! Got out this morning and found a couple right away but then for the next hour nothing. Started to give up but then saw another ash tree and decided to go take a look. Walked up on it and say, "the motherlode"! Ended up finding 21 of my 23 from this morning around that one tree. It was mostly on the east side of the tree in an area where the sun was shining. The biggest one is about 7 inches.

I found my strategy was to look for the ash trees and then to walk up on them and stop about 15 ft away and just slow down and look. Fun to find some nice ones.
