I own the mineral rights under mine. and have leased the gas rights out, to the tune of about 5,800 an acre. you are absolutely nuts to sell mineral rights

I'd say so, regarding selling mineral rights. Might as well sell the whole property.

Unfortunately, Out West, many places come (as someone mentioned) with them not belonging to the property owner but still held by the railroads or some other entity.

If they found something under my 7 Acre RANCH! and wanted to drill or dig for it, I'd just move into an RV and hope the wife wanted to come along on a journey,
