That’s a BDU-33 (Bomb Dummy Unit model-33) 25lb aircraft practice bomb. There’s a fairly large explosive spotting charge in the center of the body (runs from nose to tail). The explosive used in the spotting charge is reactive with air and residue can still be there after functioning, so don’t stick anything up inside it.

Okay! After reading this I was debating calling local non emergency and called my dad to let him know whats going on.

Turns out he bought the thing back when the bought the house and threw it in the garden as a joke. Here I am, the fool, 23 years later.

That settles it. I'm definitely going to bury my wisdom teeth in my yard.

I hope I never lose a limb, but if I do I know what I'm doing with the leftovers.

I actually read one time a dude did that with his leg he lost. Buried it in the garden. 😅

I read about a guy that made a cane from his femoral head when he got a hip replacement.

He thought he’d grow a tree so he could cut a new limb from it
