LARGE pine cones


That's an 18-inch laptop. And a pine cone. Welcome to my neighborhood. PS: those spikes are SHARP. You need work gloves to handle those things.
 

The large pine cones in the San Bernardino National Forest come from the Coulter Pine (Pinus coulteri), also known as the Bigcone Pine. This tree is famous for producing the heaviest and largest pine cones of any true pine species in the world, which can weigh several pounds and are known locally as "widowmakers" because of their dangerous ability to fall with lethal force.
