Here is the context, I was having a hard time finding my wallet, but my firend quickly see it under my desk. Can I say "Good eyes" or "Good looking out" as compliment? could you recommend me some for this context?

Axel's advice is best, but you could say "Wow, you have eagle eyes! Thank you!" "You are so observant! Thanks!"

You can say a lot of things in this situation however, "good eyes" sounds the best. "Good looking out" does not sound very natural.
You can say something along the lines of "you have really good eyes!" or "good catch!" (even though they didn't literally catch your wallet, they did 'catch' where it was) in these types of situations, or you can simply thank them "wow good eyes, thank you so much!", "wow I didn't see that, thank you!", etc.

both of them sound kind of awkward to be honest.
English isn't an awfully complicated language when it comes to compliments. I would honestly just say thank you :)
