Mail-in land test kit · from $99

Your classroom’s next science experiment is the land outside.

Or a student's backyard, or yours—wherever you can get permission to dig. One sample, and every element that turns up gets its own page: what it is, how it gets into ground, what the number means, and a short clip. From $99.

Built for science teachers, homeschool parents and anyone running a lesson that needs a real sample.

WHY UNDR

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

See your ground's stats. How it drains, how it leans, what grows well in it.

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.

An UNDR report open on a laptop
Then—the report

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

  • 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.

The periodic table has never once been about anywhere your students have stood.

It's a chart on a wall about elements that are somewhere else. A sample from the yard outside the window turns it into a chart about here: what turned up, how much of it, how that sits next to ground elsewhere, and where each element usually comes from. It's what 23andMe did for a family tree, pointed at the ground the family's been standing on.

What we go looking for
Precious metals
Rare earth elements
Oil
Heavy metal toxins
Petroleum contaminants
45 standard elements

Six 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.

Real numbers from a Treasure Hunting report. Over 400 times above normal.

Your land's type An UNDR report naming the sample's land type and where that type is found

A map of where else on earth the ground runs the same way, and the U.S. survey sites closest to yours.

The fingerprint An UNDR report plotting every element against the typical range

Everything screened, on one chart, against the national range.

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.

"What if?" is one of the most fun questions in life, and finding the answer should feel like an adventure. We built UNDR to be an experience you share with family.

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

Is there a classroom pack?

Not yet. Today it's one kit, one sample, one report. If you want two samples to compare, that's two kits.

Do I need lab equipment or a chemistry background?

No. The digging takes about ten minutes with what's in the box, the sample goes back out in your own mailbox, and the report is written in plain English. Every element that turns up gets its own page and a short clip.

Does it have to be my land?

Land you own or have permission to sample—a school yard with the office's okay, a student's own backyard, or yours. Not a park, a trail, or somebody else's property.

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.

Do we get the numbers, or just the plain-English version?

Both. Every reading comes with its value, its detection limit and its margin of error, and then a page explaining what the element is and where it usually comes from.

There's a periodic table on the wall and a yard right outside, and nothing has ever connected the two.

One sample from the school yard, or a student's backyard, or yours. Our own U.S. lab, and a page on every element that turns up. Kits from $99.
