Has anyone ever metal detected by Whitemarsh Hall Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. This place has always fascinated me. The ironic part is for all the money that was spent, this and majority of the other estates, they were all demolished...
It was built during the Guided Age....

The mansion, which was larger than the White House in Washington, D.C.[4] was demolished in 1980, and a development of modern townhouses called Stotesbury Estates was built on the property. The massive limestone pillars which were part of the mansion's front portico were left in situ as a tribute, along with the large belvedere at the back of the home. No homes occupy the footprint of the mansion itself, whose basements and foundations were simply backfilled. Small remnants of the huge gardens still exist today, including a fountain, several statues, stairs, and pieces of low stone fence and walls. The twin pillars of the estate's main gate, which was one mile (1.6 km) from the back of Whitemarsh Hall, are still standing on Douglas Road off Willow Grove Avenue, minus the steel gates. The gatehouse on Douglas Road, behind the main entrance pillars, also remains, converted to a private residence.
