Ferrell Mangus wasn’t prospecting for silver last week, but he found some…neatly cached between the studding in the wall of a house he was remodeling. Mangus wouldn’t disclose the exact amount of money he discovered but admitted that it was more than a thousand dollars. “Besides the dollars, which were stacked on end between the two by fours, there were a few buffalo nickels and a couple of rolls of quarters,” Mangus said. According to his lawyer, the money belongs to Mangus. He bought the house to use as rental property. Its former owners are deceased.
