Let horse chestnuts fall first.

Ive been picking them for a while..if you let the outer case dry they will open up revealing the chestnut inside.

Why do you want to pick horse chestnuts - they are NOT edible. If you mean sweet chestnuts, then wait for them to fall and pick them up off the ground.

I dont know what sort of chestnut they are Sid but my thought was to give them to my neices and nephews to play with, there are still loads on the tree.

From your answer Lori, they are Horse Chestnuts, conkers to most people.
