It really IS the hot corner.  Balls hit to third base are moving faster than balls hit anywhere else on the field.

Thanks to veteran third basemen Phil Denman and Jonathan Pinke for their help with this program.

Managing and Coaching Adult Slowpitch Softball, by Dan Hughes.

They say experience is the best teacher, but they are wrong.  Why should you make the same mistakes others have made before you? 

Philosopher George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Similarly, when it comes to treasure hunting, those who have gone before you have made the mistakes, so you don't have to.  Just listen to what they have to say!

In this program, I make some book recommendations.  Books that will help you find more coins faster, books that will give you new ideas on likely hunting places, and books that will tell you what you've found and what it's worth.

I was tempted to do a review of my own book in this show, but I decided that wouldn't be fair.  So instead, I'll let you choose whether or not to click here.
