    They found mine with fuzes on scrap yard!

    Yes, in my city. In Bialystok, north-east part of Poland. Is this a antipersonal mine or RG grenade? Looks biger than RG, and that fuses. Polish or Russian? For sure post war items...

    This is not Soviet mined and not grenade. It`s AP mine like USA M-16. Near the mine USA fuzes M 605.

    It is the East German made M-16 practice AP mine with dummy fuze, which has been a part of a training set.

    Hell I can't count how many times I had to respond to a junk yard or salvage yard to pick up ordnance. Lot of old MK II grenades, a bunch of 2.36 and 3.5" rockets, projos , the largest was a 250 lb GP bomb we thought it was live until we got it to the range, was concrete filled. With only a couple expections, a number of WW II Jap items it was always US stuff
    any live or dug ordnance shown in my posts was dealt with by EOD personell
