One is 2" other is 1 1/2

It most likely is. Giving us the size will tell more. And in your state, easily Civil War or war of 1812, depending on the local history.

In Alabama ?

Was there civil war activity in the area ?

It does look like Case shot , forgive me if my terminology is incorrect.

The two from the dimensions sound more like case and canister shot.
