Italian hand grenade

A peculiar find again in the Dolomites.

I was in the woods near some Italian rears when, from the stump of a larch tree, I saw what was left of a chimney

After pulling it out, my metaldetector signalled more material. So I physically entered the cavity and found, to my dismay, a Sipe hand grenade.

A classic situation that reminds us how our passion should not be taken lightly because you never know what you might find in the ground. 

This kind of stuff should be left there and reported to the relevant authorities.
