Yes subject to easements, deed restrictions, and mineral rights. However, it is a moot point. The deepest that has been drilled is about 8 miles. Russia started in 1970 and it has cost $billions.

I am very surprised that this kind of question crop up. Why do you need land below the surface if you are living? Only the dead needs 6 feet downwards! The same goes for this. Do you own the space all the way up to the sky? When the birds fly across your land you shoot them down, eh?

No, only if they, when they buy the land get natural resources with the land. Natural resources are buried, if you have that stipulation included when buying the land, then anything found buried, i.e. gold, silver, oil, natural gas, etc. is yours and whoever wants to buy it from you will have to go the extra mile in monetary concerns to get it. Legally, anyway. There are several companies who will try to bilk you of anything found on your land by only paying a fraction of what is is worth. Check with the Bureau of Land Management for more information. Good Luck!

Don't know if your serious but... When I was at a National park recently they talked about "cave wars" and how the caves under a person's land belong to them. This is the U.S. I have also heard that in some countries "treasure" found in the ground automatically belongs to the government. So, I think in the U.S. the answer is yes! Other places? I'm not so sure. =-D

No. There are mineral rights, plus if you live along a road the state owns so far from the middle of the road onto your property, meaning they can do things on that section (like widen road, etc.) without your permission.

yes they do
i know this is probably a light hearted question but i worked as a land referencing consultant and when any company lays pipes way below the surface (usually 2-3 miles down) the owner of the land on the surface has to be notified of any activity below them prior to work commencing
