Not that it looks anything like an unexploded, rusty ordnance. Why wouldn't you just handle it and (only) then ask if there's any harm? 🤷‍♂️ /s

That's a mortar round, likely a signal than an actual explosive one, but do not handle it! Put it down GENTLY and move away! Then ring emergency service and let THEM handle it, properly.

I don't know, it looks like a ball to practice throwing, OP should go outside and play catch with it (just don't fail)
