Mail-in land test kit · from $99

Testing land isn’t new. Testing a sample for something potentially valuable is.

Labs have always done this—for mining companies, for farmers, for banks. Never for the person who lives there. One sample from your yard, a report in plain English. From $99.

For anyone who assumed this was something you had to hire somebody to do.

WHY UNDR

No expert required. Ten minutes, your own mailbox, nobody on your property.

No reading without a next step. What each number means, and what comes next if one stands out.

Unearth value. Gold, silver, platinum and the rare earths.

Private and confidential. We never sell your results.

Learn your land, and how to care for it. What it's made of, how it behaves, what it responds to.

A report you'll want to share. Plain English, your land's type, real comparisons.

Two things show up in the mail.

An open UNDR kit with the shovel, gloves, pouches and prepaid mailer laid out
First—the kit

Shovel, gloves, sterile pouches, prepaid mailer. Dig, seal, drop it in your own mailbox.

Then—the report

Your scoop, element by element, in plain English. Posts to your account days after your sample lands.

Three ways this has always been done

Three ways to get land tested, and who each one was built for.

All three of these exist right now and any of them will test land. Look at who each one was built for.

“I figured this was something you had to hire somebody for.”

The county or university soil test.

Under $30, built for farmers. It measures pH and a few nutrients so you know what to put down before you plant. It isn't looking for elements.

A commercial assay.

Built for mining companies and prospectors working a claim. You send in rock or core, you get numbers back, and you're expected to already know what to ask for and what the numbers mean.

An environmental site assessment.

Built for banks, developers and lawyers, usually because a deal requires one. A firm comes out to the property and you get a binder priced for a transaction.

Nobody kept this from you. It just was never built for you.

  • 1. Dig

    A small shovel and a card telling you how. Ten minutes. Gloves in the box, and the kids will want a turn.

  • Mail-in soil sample kit with envelope and test vials for home land testing

    2. Mail

    Seal the pouch, and drop it in the prepaid envelope.

  • 3. Find out

    Receive your report and analysis in your UNDR account portal.

What changed is who it’s for.

Four things, and none of them are new science.

We run our own lab. Same protocol, same team, every sample, and a person reads every report before it goes out.

One scoop covers the kit. You send one sample, not a separate one for each thing you wanted checked.

Nothing happens at your house. No appointment, no firm in the driveway, no waiting around on a Tuesday. A box, your own mailbox, and then a report.

The explanation is written once, for everybody. Every element that turns up gets a page in plain English—what it is, how it usually gets into ground, and where your reading sits against common ranges.

You've seen what 23andMe did for a family tree. Nobody's ever done that for the land the family's been standing on.

What we go looking for
Precious metals
45 standard elements

Four categories of things we can look for. Your kit decides which of them get run, and the report says plainly what showed up and what didn’t.

The report

This is what comes back.

Not a lab printout. Real pages from real reports:

Your short answer

Two of ten heavy metals showed up, both under the common range. Your land reads Volcanic, and your iron is in the range of samples from Iceland.

One plain paragraph at the top, before any chart.

Famous comparisons An UNDR report comparing a sample's readings to well-known regions

Readings in every report get lined up against somewhere you've heard of.

Carson and Mari, founders of UNDR
Why this exists

We built the lab because we couldn't get the answer either.

We were selling our house, watching Beverly Hillbillies, and asking what if about our own land. We wanted a quick way to find out, and there wasn't one. So we built one.

Every sample is run here in the U.S., on the same instrument with the same protocol, and a person reads every report before it goes out.

"I have no idea where to start."

That’s the normal starting point, and the kit assumes it. A small shovel, a card telling you how, and a prepaid mailer are in the box. Ten minutes in your own yard, then your own mailbox. Nobody comes to your property.

"What if it comes back boring?"

Every one comes back with a type, a map, two famous comparisons and a page per element. If yours tells you nothing you didn't already know, email us and we'll refund it.

"What if it comes back high?"

Then you'll know. An elevated number comes with a name, the usual reasons it shows up, and who handles it. A number you never looked up gets none of that.

Pick your kit.

Every kit ships with the shovel, gloves, pouches, prepaid mailer and the full report.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is this different from the soil test my county does?

A county or extension test is built for growing things. It measures pH and a few nutrients. UNDR screens your sample for elements—precious metals on one side, heavy metals on the other—and explains each reading in plain English.

Do I have to be home for anything?

No. Nothing happens at your property. The kit comes to you, you fill the pouch, and it goes back out in your own mailbox, prepaid both ways.

Does it have to be my land?

Your yard, your parents' place, family land, or anywhere you have permission to dig.

How accurate is it?

Accurate for the sample you send. Lab-grade instruments, recognized methods, and every number shows its own detection limit and margin of error. One scoop doesn't describe a whole property.

When will I get my results?

Three to five business days after your sample reaches the lab, 1-2 on Premium. We post it to your account and email you.

What happens to my information?

We never sell your results.

Why hasn't anyone done this before?

People have been testing land for a long time. It was priced and written for companies, so nobody was selling it to the person who actually lives on the land. That's the part we changed.

Now there’s one built for you.

The question isn't new and the answer was never hard to get, it was just never sold to the person who lives there. A kit, your own mailbox, and a report written in plain English instead of a binder.

Prepaid both ways. Your report comes 3-5 business days after your sample reaches the lab.
