Yeah We Got A Hand Grenade Here...

Found this in the wet this morning and didn't know what it was at first. It was so heavy I tossed it up on the beach and kept working. Later I found the fuze and realized what I'd found. Pretty sure it's some kind of training prop??
Informed the shore patrol and they called it in and took a look. We decided it was safe and had a good laugh

Never know what you're going to find out there.

Did they let you keep it?

Tough neighborhood when you go to the beach you pack grenades along with the beach balls!!!

Hope the earring is gold anyway.

Not a real grenade, its a dummy trainer with a training fuse that makes a "pop" to simulate the explosion, and thats already been used.

Must have been one hell of a strong arm to reach the water from any training areas.

Very unusual find!

I agree with Jason, it is a training grenade - the fuse is removable and can be replaced after each use. I threw many of these while in basic training in the Army before we went to the live fire hand grenade range.
