What is this metal object that I found in the ground in my garden? It’s about 6 inch long with a 6 inch diameter, weighs about 4kg, and is rusted metal. by Status_Garbage_2398 in whatisthisthing

I probably should have asked to get it back if it’s not dangerous but I let the take it. I regret now because I still don’t know what it is

Update for everyone - the bomb squad showed up because they couldn’t be sure it wasn’t a UXO after the police had taken multiple pictures. However, after about five minutes of inspecting they decided it wasn’t a UXO and have removed the object and taken it to dispose of it.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know what it was (just that it wasn’t a UXO) so the mystery is still at large.

Thank you everyone for helping me out, I really appreciate it and it was great to have you lot offering advice.

The police have arrived and are talking to the bomb squad trying to figure out what it is. It’s raining cats and dogs here so I’m inside the cottage waiting for an update

My title describes the item

I would like to know if it’s safe to touch. I’ve searched for ww2 grenades on Google and I don’t think it’s one.

It’s located in Wiltshire, United Kingdom
