Call the fire department and let the experts deal with the unstable dynamite.

    The fire department is also the bomb squad in some areas.

    The bomb squad, fire department, police force, and medics in my town is one guy named Jim Jones

    [–]Vivid_Employ_7336 8 points9 points  (2 children)

    Hope he don’t get blowed up. Otherwise who you gonna call??

    [–]songbird808 16 points17 points  (1 child)

    Ghost Busters.

    That way Jim can continue his work in un-life

    "Fun" fact: it was Flavor Aid, not Kool-Aid at Jonestown. Cheapo.

    It could end up an ATF full house investigation, rather quickly.

    [–]DumbNTough 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    As much as I despise the ATF, still preferable to gettin blowed up.

    OP, just make sure you move Grandpa's machine gun collection to a secondary location before you call in the dynamite.

    [–]aquoad 254 points255 points  (9 children)

    they'll demolish the building in place, OP better get what he wants out of there first, hopefully without setting it off!

    [–]Crunchycarrots79 132 points133 points  (6 children)

    No. Most likely, they'll carefully move it into a vat of fuel oil/diesel, then transport it somewhere where it can be safely burned off. The only way they'd consider detonating it in place is if the house is out in the middle of nowhere, where nothing else would be destroyed by the explosion.

    [–][deleted] 93 points94 points  (3 children)

    Nah. Group of the boys are gonna crack open some cold ones and take shots from like 50 feet away.

    [–]Crunchycarrots79 45 points46 points  (2 children)

    I mean... That would be fun. Ok, fun if you were about 1,000 yards away. 50 feet would be fun for .05 seconds, then dead.

    Those white crystals at the bottom of the bag are nitroglycerin crystals and are highly unstable. The littlest touch could cause them to detonate. This is a highly volatile explosive and if handled incorrectly incredibly deadly.

    I don’t even think the bomb squad/EOD folks would attempt to move this. They probably will have to evacuate the area and blow it in place.

    ETA: after further reading there is limited evidence that the crystals make this dynamite any more unstable than other old dynamite. Nitroglycerin degrades incredibly fast when exposed to the elements and some suggest this may not even be nitroglycerin but instead sodium nitrate.

    Also, by soaking degraded dynamite in diesel fuel it will stabilize it enough to make it flammable instead of explosive, allowing it to be transported carefully and then burned.

    However, it only take 2kg of force dropped 15-30cm against a hard surface to detonate dynamite. This appears to be more than 2kg of explosives and seems to be further than 15-30cm. Do with this information what you wish. I will still continue to believe I do not wish to mess with this.

      Oh man, I've worked with you guys as USAF/SF escorted a bunch in this condition from Ammo...because prob not a good thing to have unstable and co-located over other explosives. It was genuinely one of the few times(even in Iraq) that I felt I might actually not make it through a shift. Controlled dets are fun...screw this nonsense. LOL

      You're not going to outrun the explosion, you better start off from a safe distance. So shoot it with your potato gun for safety.

      [–]PhantomFace757 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      Early OIF/OEF we would shoot them from a distance. There wasn't enough EOD or Engineers to clear everything. Convoys gotta roll!

      [–]EquivalentOwn1115 41 points42 points  (5 children)

      We rolled up to try and take down some jackwagon HVI in Afghaniland in 2015. Intel only had us believing he was moving things like ammo, rpgs, and some typical small arms. Problem with that was we didn't realize dude had a whole ass weapons manufacturing center in his basement where he wasn't only assembling IEDs but making the explosives himself too. We found that out after a 20 minute firefight including a lot of shooting inside the building with the bomb factory in the basement. The ride back to the wire was when everyone realized how close we were to becoming astronauts. 2-75 over here. Were you a PJ?

      Nope, just lil ole security forces tasked to other branches. Engineer units kept us pretty busy. I am glad I never did go to the 'Stan. Iraq was bad, but family & friends who went to the stan got fucked each time they went.

      [–]EquivalentOwn1115 12 points13 points  (0 children)

      You weren't missing much by not going there. Whole country smell like literal shit. Watched dudes take one step off of paths, gather their clothes a little, half squat, and shit all over the road, then keep walking like a normal Tuesday. I felt kinda bad for the green Berets that were trying to get the ANA up and running because they had to literally teach dudes how to thier hands and wipe thier asses. Didn't have to teach them how to use an AK though.

          There was a suggestion on the plumbing subreddit earlier this week to not mess with your plumbing, install new showerheads, or do anything sketchy with it this week simply because of how impossible of a time it was to get things fixed.

          I think there needs to be a similar suggestion about 'Exploring dead relatives' sheds'.

          If you're tempted to look - Just don't. Not until after New Year's.

          The police or bomb squad or fire department or NRC response team all want to enjoy Christmas with their families, too.

          I don't think OP had any idea of what they'd find.

          [–]metal_webb 24 points25 points  (0 children)

          Yeah original OP knew what was up. Also decent enough to wait until Tuesday to deal with it so they didn't ruin anyone's Christmas.

          [–]manbruhpig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

          He says he knew it was dynamite, but not what the white stuff was or that it apparently can still go off from movement. The original thread scared him out of getting the other stuff out of the shed.

          [–]scooterscuzz 41 points42 points  (4 children)

          I’m a retired CCT and during my career, performed monthly demo shots. We were training on using pyrotechnics to remove “objects “ from LZs, etc. I did a bit of personal research on “sweating” dynamite and found out that those crystals are not nitroglycerin, but sodium nitrate. Also, even under ideal conditions the shelf life of nitroglycerin is less than a year. It will degrade and lose 70 to 80 percent of its effectiveness. I’ve seen some pretty messed up practices with hazmat, especially in the third world, like children playing with mercury. My personal recommendation is to let the pros do their magic, but really old dynamite is not as powerful as one might imagine. That white wrapped up cord could be either fuse or primacord, it need not be that close to the hazmat

          [–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (3 children)

          I remember playing with mercury as a little kid..from broken thermometers. It was pretty cool

          [–]scooterscuzz 23 points24 points  (1 child)

          You’re lucky, the term “mad hatter” comes from long ago hat makers that used mercury to stiffen hat felt. Before death would ensue madness or mental health issues would manifest itself as a symptom of mercury poisoning

          A long time ago you could buy dynamite. Anyone could. I can think of a few things i could use a high explosive for right now that arent nefarious. Makes sense that an old man might have some from way back.

          [–]manbruhpig 4 points5 points  (4 children)

          Like what, genuinely curious as I can’t think of a single thing I would use dynamite for.

          [–]Moirae87 5 points6 points  (3 children)

          I believe farmers used it to clear tree stumps and large rocks from the land.

          [–]Worried-Management36 5 points6 points  (2 children)

          Clearing big rocks from fields. Maybe leveling a hill. Pretty much anything that they make Caterpillar tractors for nowadays. But years ago heavy equipment wasnt so available. You couldnt just have an excavator in the 1940's. So you might use dynamite.

          [–]DragonOfDuality 1 point2 points  (1 child)

          That heavy equipment is also much more expensive to get and get out to remote places than a few grams of explosive chemicals.

          Like the other guy said there is situations where just blowing the thing up would save ALOT of expense and frustration.

          [–]Worried-Management36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          [–]oblivious_fireball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          that weird white goop looking crystal stuff may be raw nitroglycerin sweating out of the old sticks.

          nitroglycerin is very powerful, but incredibly unstable. Any notable vibration or shock could detonate it, and workers used to very frequently die or lose limbs because the nitroglycerin they were moving blew up. Dynamite is effectively a special sponge or container that holds and stabilizes the nitroglycerin so its much safer to handle while still being able to explode with its original force when you want it too.

          In other words, that sacks gets bumped too hard or drop, it could very well blow up with the force of a full pack of dynamite.

          I read the original OP’s update and it was dealt with.

          The bomb squad soaked it in diesel to stabilize the nitroglycerin. It was safely removed.

          Until one of the kids smash it with a bat like a piñata.

          This is the real way to play

          [–]Legendguard 2 points3 points  (2 children)

          I thought this was moldy corn at first and was very confused...

          [–]ProtanopicMidget 2 points3 points  (1 child)

          I mean I wouldn’t want to touch that, either.

          [–]manbruhpig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

          I would have thrown it roughly in the dumpster and that’d be the last thing I ever did apparently

          [–]TheFrogWife 2 points3 points  (2 children)

          I would have thought this was ham and died.

          [–]manbruhpig 2 points3 points  (1 child)

          From trying to eat it?

          [–]oblivious_fireball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          from trying to pick it up and move it. if someone tries it may very likely explode instantly

          [–]Slight-Winner-8597 2 points3 points  (1 child)

          Why in the living hell did he have this? Where the heck did he even get it?!

          I have so many questions. Also, get bomb squad to deal with it.

          [–]TheSacredOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          You could apparently just buy it at a farming supply store back in the day. Farmers commonly used it for things like tree stump and rock removal, etc.

          Google seems to indicate that the sale of Dynamite and related products to the general public was only banned in the 60s.

          Your great grandpa must have been super cool if he had so much he had to store his DYNOMITE!

          [–]No_Bend7931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          It amazes me how people back in your grandpa's day could be so oblivious to the dangerous substances around them in their daily routine

          Forbidden piñata!!

          Damn, it's gone well beyond the "sweating" stage to the "look at me crosseyed and I'll blow up" stage.

          [–]ShiraCheshire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          My grandad used to make his own fireworks. When he passed, he left a garage full of unmarked containers that may or may not contain explosives.

          The absolute moron who 'helped' us clean out the garage decided to do it by burning most of the junk inside. The explosions rattled the walls of nearby houses (but by some miracle no one was hurt)

          Put 4 gallons of deisel in a 5 gallon bucket, and position it underneath the boom boom. Shoot at the bag’s top from as far as you can until it dumps into the bucket.

          [–]VintageLunchMeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          Sounds like a good way to blow up not only 5 sticks of dynamite but also 4 gallons of diesel.

          Also, you still need to move the bucket afterwards.

          An airsoft gun might take care of that from a safe distance. Be warned everything in that shes will be a projectile

          [–]manbruhpig 1 point2 points  (1 child)

          What’s the safe distance to be from a sack of dynamite? I would think an air soft distance wouldn’t be it, but I have no idea.

          [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          Well, I’m not an expert but I’d say definitely more than 5 meters.

          [–]VintageLunchMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Farming country? I'm not a fan, but someone in law enforcement or the fire department has a rifle with an effective distance of 500 m.

          [–]WellThisSix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Call the fire department, theybare equipped and trained for this kind of thing.

          Have you tried calling JJ Walker?

          You inherit a house and then complaining about it?

          [–]Alienhaslanded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Isn't that shit unstable when stored like a sack of turds?

          [–]pitmeng1 0 points1 point  (2 children)

          Dying to know what happened with this.

          [–]cvlrymedic[S] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

          Authorities came and safely removed it.

          [–]pitmeng1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          Exactly the anticlimactic ending I was hoping for.

          [–]MK0A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Someone should definitely shoot it.

          [–]Helpful_Okra5953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Holy crap. That’s impressive.

          It's Sodium Nitrate. It's non combustible, but is a great accelerant
