The unexploded grenade was found in a home near West Langney Lake in Eastbourne this afternoon.
Sussex Police officers say that the hand grenade was taken to a field and destroyed in a controlled explosion.
A spokesman for the force said: “Officers assisted the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team after a suspected Second World War hand grenade was found in a residential property in Eastbourne at about midday on Monday, June 24.
“The EOD team later carried out a controlled explosion on a field off Sevenoaks Road, and have now stood down.”
Police officers were seen stood in the middle of the field while the hand grenade was safely exploded earlier this afternoon.
