This might be a double definition.

'and garden he dug up' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'an explosive device' is the second definition.
(hand grenade is a kind of explosive device)

'to find' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
