In a vacuum, they always land at the same time.
In air, it's not so much the weight but the air resistance.
If the shape and density are about the same, then the difference in weight doesn't make any difference.
None of these matter. With no air resistance, they all hit the ground at the same time.
Assuming that each object is held with its center of gravity at the same height, and that each is dropped cleanly, with no rotation induced, the one whose lowest part is closest to the ground when dropped will hit first.
No GaleleoAdditional answerNobody discovered gravity. Everyone in the world has always been under the influence of gravity, but never thought about it. Newton was the first person to do so.And Galileo did not discover gravity. What he did was to show that two objects of different weights would accelerate under gravity at the same rate. He dropped two objects from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to prove it.
All objects will reach the ground when dropped or when they fall at approximately the exact same time except for paper.

If you drop two objects in a tube that has no air in it, they'll both land at the same time, and it doesn't matter what they weigh.
"Galileo was the first to really discredit Aristotle's laws. He did this by postulating that heavier objects would hit the ground at the same time as lighter objects, when dropped from the same height. He proved this with a famous demonstration where he dropped two balls of different weights from the leaning tower of Pisa. The balls hit the ground at the same time. Galileo also came up with the idea of inertia. Rather than take Aristotle's view that and object must have a force acting on it to keep moving, Galileo said that an object would move continuously in a straight line as long as no outside forces acted on it."

It depends how high your dropping it from. About the size of a two stry house, the one that wieghs the most. But on top of a one story house, about at the same time.
There were two Until Galileo's experiment, it was widely believed that large objects fell to Earth faster than small ones. That is, it was thought that if two objects of different sizes were dropped from the same height, the larger one would strike the ground first. Galileo showed that not to be the case. But his experiment was extraordinary for another reason. Galileo discredited another Aristotlian idea: that natural phenomena could be explained solely via analysis. Up until Galileo's time, the scientific method had yet to be developed; experimentation was largely unheard of. Proving or disproving a hypothesis via experimentation was not done. Aristotle and his peers believed that natural laws were discovered through discussion and argumentation, and the philosopher who articulated and defended his theories most persuasively was credited with their discovery. Validation through experimentation was not required.He dropped two cannonballs of different masses from the tower and watched them hit the ground at the same time, disproving Aristotle's theory that mass affects the gravity in acted on an object. He proving that mass doesn't matter but air resistance does. But, it was never proved the experiment was done at the leaning tower of Pisa.Debates had started up on one of aristoles laws of nature, that heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects. Galileo wanted to try. He needed to be able to drop the weights from a tall height. The perfect building was The leaning tower of Pisa that was 54 metres tall. He dropped the 2 weights and found out that aristole was wrong. Because the two weights fell at the same time.

In his gravity experiment Galileo dropped objects form the Leaning Tower of Pisa, in Italy.
