Being this happened in California, I'd expect the guy to be thrown in
jail for possession of illegal munitions...

I wonder why that part of the story is left out? Maybe they're waiting
for him to get out of the hospital to hit him with charges? ...So many
insane firearms laws here, he broke at least two that I can recall at
the moment.

My thought is that it's older. that's based on the assumption that a
total cartridge wouldn't be left laying in a field, rather, it'd be the
projectile that failed to function after impact or being fired. An AP or
practice round that went skipping through mud with just the base burster
charge could probably blow your hand off and not really do any damage to
anyone else nearby. Those old AP rounds really had a limited amount of
burster charge in them.
