When we lived in the San Luis Obispo area, one of the back roads had volunteer black walnut trees along the fence lines. A lot of the nuts fell onto the county right-of-way. We picked up a number of them in paper shopping bags and took them home. Shirley's method of cracking them was a plastic pan about 10"x14"x5"H, a brick, and a hammer. It was not an easy task cracking them. Definitely black walnut, juglans nigra.
