He started finding coins so kept searching and ended up with a massive pile of 1ps, 2ps, 5ps, 10ps, 20ps, 50ps, £1s and £2s. By the time he had finished Mr Hore had found exactly £85. Mr Hore bought the fabric couch from its previous owners two years ago for £250.

He says he had never noticed a gap underneath the cushions where money can fall. Mr Hore said: ''There was a gathering at my house and I was about to play the guitar when I dropped the plectrum. 'I pulled out some coins and just kept going. I suppose some of the money is mine and some of it is theirs.
''But there were some £2 coins down there too and I would have noticed losing them. I guess they had never checked down there either. It must have been cash that has slipped out of trouser pockets." Mr Hore bought the sofa after seeing it in a newspaper's classified ads in the winter of 2010.
