Welcome to TNet Anthony Barbour from Nick in CT!
Awesome find.
I have found several live rounds over the years, one as recently as Thanksgiving. My oldest live round is from 1918.

1st - Welcome Aboard McCDig! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - I searched Google and found MK-19 MOD references...

TM-43-0001-28 Army Data Sheets
Guns, Howizers, Mortars, Rifles, Gren Launchers & Arty Fuzes

TECHNICAL MANUAL - ARMY AMMUNITION DATA SHEETS - ARTILLERY AMMUNITION
GUNS, HOWITZERS, MORTARS, RECOILLESS RIFLES, GRENADE LAUNCHERS,
AND ARTILLERY FUZES​

Here is one of the descriptions MK-19 MOD (different MOD though): This cartridge is a high explosive round designed to inflict personnel casualties...fired from M75 or M129 40mm grenade launchers and the U.S. Navy 40mm machine gun...more...

Looks like it’s WWII, manufactured in 1942 if I’m reading it correctly
