If I dig down into my garden and find gold - is it mine? Alternatively can I bill Virgin Atlantic for flying over my house at 30,000 feet.

Just one of them random thoughts

All the way.

You own a corresponding plot in New Zealand and, once a month, some of the Moon

None. You don't even own your land, you hold it in fee simple from the Queen :p

Here in Cumbria mineral rights go down to 150m.

If I found gold I think I’d keep it quietly in my basement. The Queen would only invest it in an offshore account or use it to pay for Harry and Meghan’s wedding.

Nope, it’s mined

I believe technically you own it all the way to the molten core.

Doesn’t mean you own mineral rights.

I wonder how that works in London when you could have a tube line run under your house or something.

Nonsensical question.

You should be asking 'how much volume do I own under the surface area of my property?'

It belongs to the Crown anyway.
