Can any private person have mineral rghts on his property?
Yes, But it is very seldom that you get them with the property when you purchase it. Most of the time mineral rights are owned by A person who does not have too much interest in the land but really enjoys owning the rights to whats under it. Without the mineral rights you own up to the first 6 inches of dirt, Not always the full 6 inches though. OH! and your hight into the air is limmited to, the government owns that.
