When a sweetgum tree is cut a sweet sap is released from the tree. When early Spanish settlers noticed this sweet amber sap, they began calling this tree the sweetgum tree.
Birds peck holes in sweet gum trees to feed on the sap that flows out. The sap provides a good source of nutrition and energy for the birds. Additionally, the sweet gum tree sap may attract insects, providing the birds with an additional food source.

well the trunk on gum trees is very thin like imagine Paris Hilton as a tree and well there are little buds on the trees they are green like a grannysmith apples and they take them and can make gum out of it.Ha ha that is soooooooooooooo not true lol :) anyway a gum tree is very thin usually and people start spitting out their gum and sticking it on the tree. Over time the tree is almost covered in gum of different colors. It's kinda gross if you ask me! :)

If it is from a tree it could be a Sweet Gum Ball (the fruit of a sweet gum tree, not edible). I've heard a few people call it a spiny ball or spikey ball. It might also be a chestnut tree burr, a buckeye fruit husk or from similar nut trees.
Found in the southern states like south of Connecticut on the coast.

Absolutely not. You must use rhodium nails. That's why non-bearing gum ball trees are so expensive.
