The horse chestnut often times called a conker is a native tree to Europe. If there are any in the US I am not sure. The seed pods are completely different looking along with the leaves on the tree. Looking it up on Google, it seems that there MAY be some medicinal value to them. More study would be needed to be able to tell the difference between them.
