He will share his major discoveries, about his time doing survival alone in the desert as well as going over tips and tricks to help other treasure hunters.
Cody Drake is dedicated and knowledgeable. He puts his entire heart and soul into educating people about Arizona history and its treasures. He sacrifices a lot so he can do a lot of field work (which he loves) and traveling so he can share his adventures with everyone.

Cody truly is a master at all he does and we are truly lucky to get to learn and be a part of the Arizona treasure hunter’s world.
