I have no doubt if I had found it as a kid, I would have tried with a screwdriver and hammer to take the front of the bomb off.
I was lucky I never found one...
Well you just have to tap it a few times with a hammer first.
Make sure it’s safe.
Investigation Discovery had a Joe Kenda episode where they responded to a report of a garage explosion. The place was in ruins, as was its owner. One officer finds a finger still wrapped around a steel ring.
The end result was that some idiot had just bought the house, investigated the garage, found a grenade and evidently pulled the pin to see what it did. He found out.
