Officials say two hunters stumbled upon 100 pounds of C-4 Sunday night, in crates on Timothy Ryan Richards' farm.
The house is near the Fort Campbell army post where the soldier is based.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's bomb squad was called to investigate, along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the FBI.
"We recovered a variety of military grade explosives," said ATF&E agent Eric Kehn. "All these are unique in their own ways. The detonation storage, their capacities, and what they're actually used for in the field. In this case, we recovered them safely."
Richards appeared in federal court in Nashville Monday, on charges of possessing two unregistered guns.
Officials expect Richards will face more charges related to the discovery of the explosives.
