Guess that thing.
I found this outside next to my fire, is it a grenade?

They sell that stuff at the local surplus store. Heck, I have about 25 of various types from the making of our film. There should be one hole that is smooth where they just drilled the bottom out while the other hole will be threaded. This is so it can accept the fuse assembly. As long as its hollow, all you have is a dummy grenade. More than likely, it was a practice grenade in the first place, so no explosive was ever put into it.

I picked up a deavtivated grenade from the local surplus store. Mine was a pinaple style, with fuse assembly, but no explosives. The scale of them and the holes in both sides are consistent with yours. Decision: It's a grenade
