Better safe than sorry. Especially if it wasn’t expected to be there in the first place.

I’m not sure who I would trust enough to believe that an old grenade is safe

Grandpa had one. But it was welded shut at the handle and the bottom had a big hole in it so you could see inside!

My dad had a few. They were training ones though. Hollowed out and the pins were lost long ago. Still fairly heavy though and very real looking at a distance.
