Dirt Fishing - Metal Detecting & Abandoned Places

Check out this abandoned mansion in Virginia.  Everything is so still and quiet, only the sound of footsteps and birds chirping.  I wonder who lived here, why was this amazing home abandoned?  I would certainly like to live here, and it doesn't even look in that bad of shape either.  Perhaps it is haunted , or there was a murder.  It must have looked amazing during its prime, spotless inside beautifully tended gardens outside.  Now it stands ominously atop the hill, keeping its secrets silenced.

Abandoned Places I recently discovered this abandoned building while searching for a place to metal detect in Germany.  The sign on the outside had a date of 1816, presumably the year it was built.
