It surprises me that hand grenades can be washed up anywhere. Assuming before they come to the beach they'd need to be moved from the seabed.

Do hand grenades float?

You'd be amazed how many rocks wash up on the beach, in fact you get whole beaches of them

Diving in Ireland some years ago our skipper said a group of divers a few years before had lifted an entire crate of WW2 grenades

There is a ship a little way of Belfast Harbour full of munitions from the war or so my old dive master used to tell me.

There's quite a lot around, we dived one off Rathlin which had load of cordite all over the place. Looks like spaghetti, burns in open air but gives a good explosion if confined. Had great fun on the beach with a length of scaffold pole and some stones
