These are not my finds, rather they have been posted on a local history Facebook page. I have included known details in hopes of helping ID them

There is an indentation on top. It seems to be iron. (A magnet sticks to it.) There are several circles (1 1/8" diameter) visible in the surface, as well as a ridge running around the circumference dividing it into two hemispheres. It weighs about 8 lbs.

This guy found a 4" iron ball in his neighbor's yard around 19th and Cumberland, using a metal detector. It was buried 14 inches underground. We did measure it with a ruler, and it was pretty close to 4 inches diameter.
Any help would be appreciated.
