Small metal dart found in yard located in Northeast USA. Nose is threaded but does not screw off of body. No markings or stamps, was not there in the fall. Some of the people opinions on it: Minimum-Zucchini-732: \u201cHaven\u2019t seen one of these in a while. Likely Kid\u2019s toy \u2013 you put a cap in the end, throw it, and it pops on landing.\u201d<\/p>\n
prairieson2644: \u201cIt\u2019s an old \u2018cap dart\/grenade\u2019. Red paper \u2018caps\u2019 were inserted in the space, and when thrown would bang on impact.\u201d gty2269: \u201cWeird just talking to someone about these the other day.<\/p>\n
They still sell them here.\u201d Magicwandza: \u201cKids toy. You put those paper \u2018bangers\u2019 underneath the spring and throw it on a hard surface to make it bang. Same principle as the old pop guns with the paper banger \u2018ribbons\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
Budget_Roof1065: \u201cCap bomb. I must have gone through a hundred of those as a child in the 70\u2019s. Twist the top, put a paper cap in, twist the top back down, throw it up in the air. When it hits the pavement, it makes a bang.\u201d aztecforlife: \u201cWe stuck caps (little explosive wad) in them and they pop when you throw them. Probably removed from the market around the time lawn darts were deemed hazardous.\u201d JimiTrucks1972: \u201cI had a bunch of those. Man I can smell the picture. God I loved the smell of those red caps.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
