Siti Norzehan Mohd Yatim has a hobby in metal detecting, collecting abandoned artefacts on the beaches of west coast of Malaysia.

The 46-year-old said her hobby began after she watched videoclips about the activity on the Internet, reported Kosmo!.She also got her husband Heidizaini Jurami, 46, to join in her “treasure hunting” activities.

“This activity is not known to many and my husband was even sceptical at first.

“He thought that it was a waste of time and the equipment was so expensive.

“However, after three years of talking him into it, my husband decided to give it a try and we bought a used metal detector and went to beaches along Port Dickson in Negri Sembilan and Pantai Remis in Selangor,” she told the daily.

Heidizaini said metal detecting activities in the country focused mainly on searching for valuable metals such as metal accessories that had been left behind.

He said when someone finds valuable metals such as gold or silver, he will try to locate the owner first for a certain period before selling them.

“This has been the routine for us and what we have been telling other enthusiasts as well.

“It’s a form of courtesy when we find valuable items that don’t belong to us,” he added.

> Age difference is not a deal breaker for actor Muaz Aidil Fitri Maslan, 34, who recently married his manager Qaseh Anita Abd Shukor who is 50, reported Harian Metro.Muaz acknowledged that the marriage would spark some gossip among his fans, saying that he would only want to leverage on Qaseh’s maturity.

“What we know is that between us, we are always working together in our own careers.

“It’s not fair to say that I married Qaseh just because I want to live an easier life.

“Undeniably she has more experience in business as a production house owner.

“However, both us us go through the ups and downs together,” he said.
