Minted coins don't fall under that - lol
I was shocked the first time I bought property in Texas. Pages and pages and pages of reserved mineral rights in the deed. Then it dawned on me - "OIL", none of the owners wanted to lose out if oil was struck in the future.
Yup. I had a 1.5 acre lot in Texas and I had the mineral rights. Texaco wanted to buy my oil rights for $35.00 a year. That's when I discovered that oil companies need 80% of the land owners approval to suck the oil from an underground 'identified' pool of oil.
Ironically, at the time, I lived about one mile from the Texaco world headquarters.
Didn’t know minted coins don’t fall in that category. I did buy property here some yrs back and never looked into what was reserved for the mineral rights owner.
But is this the same for all states? I didn’t catch where the guy found them coins.
