A Thai man who decided to look for hens to have for dinner tried to entice the hens by bring his Cockerel.

While doing this he saw some gold coloured objects and thought about selling them. So he hit one on a rock and it exploded. He was recording this on Facebook live.

https://youtu.be/Pyv3ZeoJyjQ from 1.16 shows you a news report on this. A bit tongue in cheek humour added by news reader.

This could use a LOT more detail in the writeup but after watching the news article I'm willing to accept it. This person ignored warnings signs and went scavenging inside a police weapons range where he found what turned out to be grenades and hit one, causing it to detonate. That's top level stupidity as far as I'm concerned.
