Found two chestnut trees in the neighborhood while on a bike ride

I am always keeping my eye out for chestnut trees. I took a bike ride this morning and decided to try a new route. I noticed a chestnut tree poking out amongst some other trees along a ditch.

After finding the first chestnut, in my excitement, I focused on looking hard for more on my way back to the homestead. Bam, another fairly large chestnut popped out along a road I've ridden down many times before without noticing it. The first tree I found was heavily branched so probably not dominant with American genetics, the second had much better timber form but no evidence of nuts. I'll still try to look around for some this fall and try to sprout them if I end up finding any.
