Keris Sedhotan (or sedutan, tarikan),
This is having some ritual to obtain keris or pusaka from the mentioned (by Pangeran). Most people got tricked by this claimed although little were true cases.

A "good smart" bomoh or individual can keep the keris or pusaka in the mentioned places which acts like a "deposit box". He would then call or announced to some group of enthusiast people about the ritual event and showing some proof of examples. During the ritual, that individual would just opened-up the "deposit box" and collect what he has kept. He later sold that at a certain price or dowry.

Though there are some true event, where one knew at certain places kept or buried good old keris or pusaka. He would then seek help from "good knowledgeble" person to scan and obtained it.
