How deep does my property go?

299 views

I have a house on 2 acres. I know the length and width of my property, but what about depth? If I dig 1ft down am I still on my property? 5ft? 1000ft? A 2 acre rectangle all the way to the Earths core? How deep would I have to go to no longer be on my own land?

A property I owned in Nevada was for the surface only. The owner of the mineral rights (a silver mining company) could mine the dirt under my house to the top of the ground as long as they did not cause a collapse. No one in town owned anything but the surface.
