I found 3/4 of a case of dynamite...with blasting caps.
I knew where it was, but when a neighbor said his son had ADHD I said, "well you don't want him to find this then", so I reached down in the floorboards and removed the dynamite and blasting caps. I threw it in my truck, and drove around with them for a week. But then my wife wanted dog food, so here I was at Walmart, a big white and red box that said "EXPLOSIVES" in huge letters on it in my front seat, so I could just picture coming out of Walmart with the police and Bomb Squad surrounding my truck. So I threw a sweatshirt over it, and figured I had better do something better with it then keep it in my truck.
So I threw it in the attic of my sheep shed.
After a few years I asked a friend who worked for the Bomb Squad what I should do with it, and he said, "DO NOT MOVE IT". I did not think it was that bad. The paperwork said it was made in 1983, so it was not that old.
So I just kept it there. Then I asked a good friend who was a police officer if he could find a way to get rid of it without having my name in the newspapers and on TV, and he said he could. As I was waiting for the ATF to show up, I thought, "I out to put that in an old car out in the woods or something so they do not freak out an blow up my sheep shed or something". The Maine State Police have a habit of blowing up people's homes around here (look up Maine State Police Blow Up Mans House in Dixmont if you question that).
But in the end the problem took care of itself. I did not know this, but rats LOVE nitroglycerin, so they got into the box over the years, and ate it. So its now gone, which is probably a good thing.
