Fortunately for him, I’m guessing the soil it was buried in absorbed most of the blast and shrapnel.

Years ago I read of a relic hunter digging on private property OUTSIDE a Civil War battle ground,came upon several fired, but un-exploded civil war shells. One shell had exploded, but the mud had been so thick the fragments did not go anywhere.
He later laughed, thinking about the gunnery Sgt fretting over several shots fired at the same target but only one exploded.
