Just pull the pin and throw it! Jeeze, tax dollars at work.You go right ahead and trust that 70 year old three-to-five second fuse that's been sitting out in the elements for God only knows how long. I'll be 'round the corner.
New grenade? Sure thing. Some relic of WWII? No way.

I’ll bet they had to trigger it with explosives, and that it did not simply detonate from pulling the pin.

When I was a 13 year old in the country, my friend and I found some old wet dynamite we were playing with in an old shack. We took it to show the owner of the property and he turned really white.
Bomb guys came out and blew up the shack. Sometimes angels are watching over you and you don’t know it at the time.

Yep, SOP for disposal- much safer that way.

Saturday morning a live WWII era hand grenade was found amid piles of debris in the backyard
Oh, whew! When I read "piles of debris in the backyard" I thought it was my place. This is in Texas.
