This depends upon the deed ascribing (giving) ownership to the parcel (land).
If the deed gives "mineral rights", it conveys ownership of the land to include the topsoil, and anything underground which may also be of value.
Local laws may prohibit/regulate the use of the land (zoning laws), which may preclude any serious digging/excavation projects in your backyard.

Depends on the local regulations as well as the way the deed is written. In US, most of the time you do not own the mineral rights under your land unless its explicitly stated.

Since middle Earth is full of hobbits and elves, they own the interior. We get the outer crust with the pretty flowers.

Legally, I believe maybe he does...I mean, if he finds oil on his land, he can drill as deep as he needs to get at that oil,
but personally, I have to say that I don't think any person can really "own" any piece of this earth.

usually not! mineral rights are almost never sold with the land. best to hope that oil isn't found in your suburb, or gold or nickel or tin...

the earth being spherical and its centre being atom sized, You probably wouldn't own much of it.
