Around 1:30 p.m. on September 21, the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office and the Elkhart Police Department Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit were called to a home in the 200 block of N 175 E in Wayne Township.
A man was looking through old family boxes in an outbuilding and found what he thought to be a “pineapple” hand grenade, the sheriff’s office said.
Deputies secured the area and Elkhart Police arrived to assist.
Bomb technicians performed an x-ray of the object and determined it did not contain a live ordinance.
The hand grenade was placed into a containment unit and taken from the home for disposal.
