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.

with a shovel, then your own mailbox
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.
Shovel, gloves, sterile pouches, prepaid mailer. Dig, seal, drop it in your own mailbox.
Your scoop, element by element, in plain English. Posts to your account days after your sample lands.
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.
Dig. Mail. Find out.
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.
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.
This is what comes back.
Not a lab printout. Real pages from real reports:
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.
Silver
Gold
Real numbers from a Treasure Hunting report. Over 400 times above normal.
Arsenic
A map of where else on earth the ground runs the same way, and the U.S. survey sites closest to yours.
Everything screened, on one chart, against the national range.
Readings in every report get lined up against somewhere you've heard of.
What we look for.
Pick a side for $99 or $149. Take both for $299.
Eight precious metals. Plus 17 rare earths—neodymium, yttrium, lanthanum, the ones in your phone and your car—and crude oil.Plus kit
Ten heavy metals. Plus 12 petroleum contaminants—gasoline, diesel, heating oil, motor oil, benzene, DDT.Plus kit
Plus 45 standard elements underneath both, oxygen on up—most of what your land is actually made of. UNDR Premium takes both sides: two samples, 90+ in all.
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.
Not your county soil test.
Four ways to look at a property, and what each one actually tells you.
| Home inspection | Ag soil test | Environmental firm | UNDR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Looks at the land | No | Yes, for farming | Yes | Yes |
| Screens for | Nothing in the yard | pH and a few nutrients | Whatever the bank asks for | 90+ elements, gold to lead |
| Built for | Buyers | Farmers | Developers and lawyers | The person who lives there |
| You get | A PDF you read once | A table of numbers | A binder | Plain-English pages, a type, a map, comparisons |
| Cost | About $400 | Under $30 | Priced for developers | From $99 |
"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.

Four things we promise.
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.
