Yes sir, it sure does. This happens quite a bit when a Vet from WWII or Korea dies. The family decides that the "door stop" that they've had for 50 years is a problem and they drop it off at the police or sheriff's department. Or it's a call out and they respond, and/or request military EOD, as we are the only responders that have the authority for military ordnance. Sometimes the cops are heroes and take care of it themselves.
It's a grab bag whether they are live or not. We've picked up everything from grenades to civil war cannon balls. All to commonly live.
Thanks for the post, Sgt Wayne Wood.

Sgt Wayne Wood - It is. Some goofy shit and some that would scare a sane person. Like fired 40mm grenades!

Sgt Wayne Wood - Some of the worst. Very sensitive depending on the type. Souvenirs aren't worth it.
