Now I use Metal Detector to find the Keton (not KATUN) in a river of Johor. I found many variety of Keton there. The condition between Keton in the mud and Keton on the land is different. Keton in the mud in a very good condition. You still can read what has written on the Keton. The most popular and rare is Haza Al Masruf (This is petty money) Dar Al Johora (of the city of Johore). – Johore SS30 – Hexagonal. And I found many of unlisted Keton which is not is Johore SS. The rare unlisted is Johor SS30. Is not Hexagonal BUT Octagonal. And it’s still in my collection. Every weekend I search Keton with my Garrett AT Gold Metal Detector and every time I search, I bring back home around 20 – 30 pieces. That takes around 2 hour’s job. I would like to meet you, Mr. Dickson. To show you the unlisted Keton. / You also can look at my Facebook.
