Responsible response: hand it in to the police for disposal, store it outside in a bucket of water until you're ready to do so.
Alternative response: It should by now be either totally inert or totally unstable, your call... Only tamper with it if you know exactly what you are doing. Please, if you are not at all familiar with munitions, leave well alone. It might not be that old, you never know.

Also, please make sure that no little fingers can get anywhere close to it.

Don't want to sound like a scaremonger, but better safe than sorry.

My Dad'll be interested in these - he worked for Trinity House when I was little.
When he is next at the shop I'll show him.
