This stuff is amazing. So clean and easy!

Do most landowner deeds in Maine include the rights to subsurface minerals? I don't want anyone telling me they have the right to mine lithium under my land, and making a mess of things.

I'm no expert, but I think that in western states it is common practice that, although you own the land, other corporate interests own the rights to mine the minerals that lie below the surface.
