Ok. Wow. The comments here blow my mind. Yes, it's probably still safe, and possibly worth money. However there is the chance that it is not safe. You can find forums just on ammo, post a picture of the stuff and I'm sure people will give you the scoop on how that ammo ages. Some ammo is NOT safe to fire after a long time. Rounds can become hotter over time and have the potential to blow up your gun/hand. DO NOT poor concrete into a bucket with the stuff. Concrete heats up as it sets and that’s bad. Concrete is not going to stop a bullet if exploded. It might make some nice derbies though. Do not soak it in water and toss it. It would make it safe for a while, but then the ammo would dry out again in a dump somewhere and become a problem again. If you really want to dispose of it, take it to the local gun shop or range. They have the ability to dispose of it properly.
