I wonder how far down I own the land my house is on.

That is a very complex question, which depends upon several factors. Generally speaking:

If it's something valuable under there, you own the surface only.

If it's an "environmental hazard" beneath, then you own as deep as it gets.

I’m reminded of baseball player Matt White finding that his property was sitting on something like a $billion worth of semi-precious rock. He’s managed to extract enough to retire on.

Or more briefly, you only own it if no one else wants it.
