Am I the only one that would kinda like finding a grenade laying there for the taking and not run away like other, smarter people do?

...but it was inert.

A paper weight. Idiots.

I’m going with his first decision to clear out, and not so much with going back to make a Tik Tok video

Was doing a big renovation in my dad’s bathroom 3 years ago, and found a 1932 New York license plate dumped behind the lath and plaster wall. Was decades before he had bought the house, but 20 years after the house was built.

Can’t imagine how it got in there (and an out-of state plate as well)

We too are leaving little surprises for our grandchildren. We haven’t thought of grenades though. We were thinking more in the line of mason jars full of change. LOL!

Back in the ‘70s I bought one that looked exactly like the one in the photo at a military surplus store in Florida. I never bothered to research it, but I always assumed that the blue-painted spoon indicated the grenade was inert. Anyone know if that’s the case?

Many years ago, I used to collect antique beer cans. Had some quite rare ones. The best places to find them in pristine condition was inside the walls of houses being renovated or torn down. Construction guys from long ago would toss the empties inside the walls before lathe and plaster went up.

A friend’s family was cleaning out the garage of their old farmhouse. Generations of junk. The last thing they found was a box of dynamite. Authorities evacuated dozens of nearby homes while it was removed.

Non story. It’s a paperweight, thus the blue handle.

It would be quite helpful if “journalists” specified whether they were reporting on events in Washington State, Washington DC or Washington, NC.

I always keep a grenade in the bathroom. I mean, you never know when you’re going to need one.

I hate it when that happens.

No, not finding a Grenade.....
Finding out it is inert.

I have enough paperweights as it is.

“confirmed the object was a grenade, but it was inert.”

Freaking cringing liberals if it is inert, it is just a lump made to look like a dog turd or maybe a grenade.

We’ve found all sorts of cool things at J properties we’ve bought and renovated. The last one had a huge stash of 9mm and larger cal rounds. Enough for the apocalypse.
