Only if they've been compacted into golf ball shapes. Remember a tonne of lead and a tonne of feathers may be the same mass, the lead will hit the ground first not because of it's mass but because of it's wind resistance. They proved this on the moon, the feather and the metal bar hit the ground at the same time because there (and not on Earth) there wasn't any drag force.
