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.

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.

Who this one is for

Whoever’s land you can get a shovel into.

It doesn't have to be where you live. It has to be somewhere you own, or somewhere somebody's happy to let you dig.

“I’ve walked this land my whole life and I still don’t know what’s in it.”

Your place.

The yard you mow, the corner behind the shed, the strip where nothing's ever been built. Pick the spot you've wondered about.

Your parents' place.

Or your grandmother's. Ask first, then pick your spot. The land you grew up on counts.

The family land.

The acreage nobody built on, the lot that's been passed around, the place everybody calls by a name. Somebody in the family can say yes.

The $99 kit screens for those three and five more precious metals, plus 45 standard elements.

  • 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.

It’s been handed down with everything except this.

Families pass down the stories about the house and the well and the year the barn went, and the deed, and sometimes a survey. Nobody passes down what's in the ground, because nobody ever had it.

One scoop from that land, screened for traces of gold, silver, platinum and five more precious metals, plus 45 standard elements, and a report that walks through each one in plain English.

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.

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.

Not your county soil test.

"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

Can I send samples from two different places?

One kit covers one sample. If you want the home place and the family land both, that's two kits and two reports, and they're a lot more interesting side by side.

The land's been farmed for decades. Does that matter?

It's useful context, not a disqualifier. The report tells you what's in the sample you sent and where each reading sits against common ranges, whatever the history of the ground.

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.

Do I need to know where to dig?

No. The card in the box walks you through it. Pick the spot you're actually curious about and the instructions handle the rest.

Somebody in the family should find out.

Your kids will inherit this land knowing exactly as much about it as you do. That's the part you can change for $99 and about ten minutes.

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