seriously though.. i found it in the desert was just trying to confirm if its a blasting cap or not because it looks like one and inside of the gray wire coming from it is two wires one is black and one is red.

this is the place i found it at.

It looks like one, I would contact your sheriff to have it properly disposed of. Those things are extremely dangerous, especially one that has been around for God knows how long. I would not mess around with it OP.

Sure looks like it. I'd do this >>29488391

You have no idea how long it has been out in the elements or how stable it is. That shit will take your hand off OP

That's a detonator, it's shocktube.

It's a tube full of explosives that is used to set off bigger explosives at distance. I wouldn't hold it in your hands or put it anywhere it might be exposed to heat or shocks.

Its either a blasting cap or a thermocouple. You could always try googling the string of numbers and letters that is on it to figure out.

>Those ratty ass basic issue boots
Did you steal a c4 blasting cap?

>>29487031
put a sandbag over it and then put a current through the two wires

if nothing happens don't remove the sandbag just forget you ever saw it

>>29488441
Don't do this. Shocktube won't explode, persay, but it might burn the fucking shit out of you if you mishandle it like this guy says.

It's just a thermocouple

>>29486974
There's only only one real way to find out. Stick it on a flat surface and smack it really hard with a hammer. If it makes kind of a "ping" noise, then it's a blasting cap, but if it goes "pong" then it's nothing special and you can just throw it away.

If there is exposed wires, look inside them. If there's normal copper/aluminum wires, it's a sensor probe. If there is a powdery substance, call your Sheriff's Department immediately.

Or snort it and die from an exploding heart. Your choice.

Lick it. If it tastes like almonds, then it is explosive.
