You would be suprised how deeds I see that have mineral rights attached to them. When land in Oregon was being given away years ago and when the Railroads were coming in as an insentive they recieved land in a checker board layout. The railroads have retained the mineral rights to a lot of land now owned by private indivuals. In Oregon the BLM has thousands of mineral claims on there property from private prospectors.
