Exciting! Yesterday afternoon I was likely walking right on top of this grenade while assisting with removal of debris. Should be on local Austin news tonight. No valid online source at this time (FR scoops the MSM!)

Some feller probably brought it back from the war.

Yesterday it was Giant Texas Rattlesnakes and today we are still fighting WWII down there?

Just pull the pin and throw it! Jeeze, tax dollars at work.

Yep, we think this is exactly what happened- same resident in the home since 1937 (she is now 93) and her husband may have been a WWII vet.

Holy moly. At her age, her hubby coulda been a WWI vet!
To: brytlea; Toki
Thanks, we were all very lucky. With the tangle of junk that was piled on top of and around the grenade we could have set it off accidentally.

Four is right out...YEah. Monte Python did some great stuff. But I sure would have been tempted to keep the thing. How many people have 70 yr old hand grenades as keepsakes?

there’s so much unexploded WWI stuff lying around in France and Belgium that they still have full time EOD teams working on it.

I wonder how old it is and if the cap has deteriorated?
