[QUOTE="Buckrun, post: 57949, member: 51"] Gotta know where you buy and what comes with it! In Ohio, mineral rights are king! You can own the surface, but they can own everything a foot below the surface and rape your land, tear all the trees off it, dig it down to hundreds of feet, torture you with years of huge heavy equipment making racket 24/7, and leave you with a moonscape. But it's your moonscape! :shocked: I got lucky on the coal mining side in the fact that in the early 60's, coal companies would steal from each other. This one company came on my property owned by another, and used horizontal augers to steal the coal under my land, so the owner has no interest in F'g up my land today!:thumb: As far as anything else goes on my land, its totally lawless. The lesson is to do your homework! In my case it was WAY more than just records in the county. I made friends over the years in the mining industry around my area of interest. I had friends and friends of friends that gave me the low down on what could possibly happen in the future on my prospective land buy. Bottom line at the time was my land was fair game for mining! Very Bad! But I had GOOD friends in high places in the mining company. I actually contracted with them to take the coal on my property, and leave me a 60 foot deep lake 4 acres.

I was going to be styling with a new lake, they would leave my woods alone, and they were the best in terms of reclamation! Look at your deed to a prospective property carefully and all the covenants and rights of way that may come with it! My land is safe and AWESONE! :thumb: [/QUOTE]
