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?

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.

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.
