For some reason this thread had completely past me by, which is a shame because it is a delightful and informative tale of you and your boys geological adventures. Bookmarking in the hope of future updates.

Have you seen this series of videos? I stumbled on this one and decided I had to see all of them and I don't live anywhere near the area. The guy is really entertaining with an infectious enthusiasm. Recommended if you're into this stuff.

He found it under this tree, which we haven't identified, either:
And, I suppose in hindsight, it would have been good to take a photo of the rest of the cones underneath that tree, but I didn't think of it. Gives us a reason to go back and do some more work.
I think it's a pinus contorta, commonly known as lodgepole pine. It's very exposed on top of a hill, which I read can cause them to grow like this.
Looks like a Douglas fir tree cone.
