British Transport Police said they could be dangerous to children and appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
The detonators were stolen from a Network Rail depot in Bicester overnight on Monday.
They are yellow, flat and round with the circumference of a drinks can.
They are placed on the tracks as warning devices to alert train drivers that engineers or potential hazards are on the line ahead.
