Property owner Cindy Wilson found more decaying dynamite Tuesday. She also found old dynamite Monday and over the weekend while cleaning out a barn inherited from her uncle.
The bomb squad detonated all the devices, but Wilson isn't certain if there are more.
"It’s not uncommon to have it, but, you know, it’s not safe, you know, to have it this long,” Wilson said.

She said she is being extra careful when going through things on the property.
