You have done well for the year. I'm rolling up my goodies from last summer and we are pretty close in the amount. About $200 of my amount is in quarters. Love those quarters. Then I have about 1200 dimes. Add a couple of thousand pennies or so and that's a lot of bending and digging.
I've got something you should have had when you were in Murrieta. My wife's sister just sent her a photo history book of Murrieta showing everything from the origin of the town to date.
A Spaniard ( Juan Murrieta ) bought 52,000 acres back in the early 1800's to run sheep on and later ( after making a ton of money ) he sold the land to a developer and hence the beginnings of Murrieta.
When I lived there for a spell ( my wife's family have lived there since about 1960 ) the population was about 1000 and consisted of mostly horse ranches. Now it's Yuppieville.

Yeah when I first arrived in SoCal in the mid fifties it was a great place to live. I thought I ghaddioed and gone to heaven. Lovely weather, no smog, no traffic. You could get out on thefreeway and drive 120 MPH if you wanted to. Orange county was nothing but miles and miles of Orange groves. Artesia was all dairy farms. They had not yet started construction of Disneyland.
Elsinore was a ghost town and Temecula and Murrieta were just wide spots in the road. The beaches around LA were uncrowded and you could go clamming anytime and scrape abalones off the rocks at low tide, and fishing off the piers or rocks was fabulous. WE used to go bonita fishing at Redondo and pull them out one after another. WE used to catch one and fasten a balloon to it, throw it back, then watch where the school went.
THen in a few short years it all went to hell in a hand basket.
