Hetty: I first thought maybe Chestnut too but the hairy stuff is inside the shell, I thought all Chestnuts had the hairy looking stuff outside? I will keep watching because I sure am curious as to what three this seed/nut is from:
Chestnuts:
Chinese Chestnut (
Castanea mollissima
)
Sweet Chestnut (
Castanea sativa
)

I think you're on to something; I de-haired one and found the actual seed is in appearance triangular (w/ one side rounded) like morning glory seeds.
