Great finds on a muddy day.. The flat spot on your round ball is probably the sprue. The excess lead that is cut off in the mold leaves that flat spot and it is called the sprue.

I agree with roundness. The flat spot on your ball is where the sprue was cut off. Here is a collection of Revolutionary War musket balls. The top ones never had the sprue cut off, and the bottom ones were finished.
