Seated Liberty Quarter, two bells, and... a hand grenade fuze?

So I got to go out today and search a park in a seedy town about 20 minutes from where I live. It looked like it was going to be a rough day, as I dug two Trojan condom wrappers, two plastic cement tubes which the junkies huff to get high, and about 20 malt liquor bottle caps. Luckily I went a bit farther into the woods and on a knoll I found a rusty jackknife, a toasted Indian Head Penny, and an 1876 Seated Liberty Quarter! Strangely enough, it's the exact same date as Scrappy's quarter that he found yesterday.

I also went out yesterday to a hay field and found a few neat bells and then stopped by a reservoir, where I found a hand grenade fuze. The powder train is all gone, which is a good thing. I checked on the numbers and it appears to be military, but no idea how it ended up there.:dontknow:
