iron meteorite or cannonball??

[rockpassion]

found this super heavy metal sphere and people say it is not a cannonball and i thought iron meteorite because of the strange natural imperfection in the sphere. it ways 3670 grams en measures 9,5 cm. So what is it, cannonball, iron meteorite, mill ball or something else? Love to hear your opinions. P.S. it has been cleaned

is it not so that a shot put most be perfect round for better erodynamic. Mine is wonky as hell.

Yes, I just remembered the one I found and suggested it without examining all your pictures. Upon inspection, I see all the deformities.
I think it's an industrial steel mill ball. I don't think it's a gate weight, though possible. I don't even remotely think it's a meteorite.

Gate weight. The attachment/weld point is obvious.

Possibly the business end of a bell clapper for a large bell ?

The problem is that there is no way, no how that's a meteorite.

My vote is for a ball from a ball and chain.🚓
