Do you think someone was home but didn't answer the door or do they have no idea you've been there? Either way, as Leddzepp said, you aren't giving up on anything they know about. I wouldn't go as far as checking county records and all that. If someone showed up with my place after doing that diggin' up on me they'd be the last person on earth I'd sell to and they'd leave my doorstep with a fat lip. Just to aggressive and inconsiderate. I'd leave a "Don't mean to intrude but if and when" note in the door. Nothing offensive about that. Just because something sits doesn't mean they don't want it.

I know where there is a '67 GTO that has been sitting in plain view of the state road since Viet Nam. It was once a shiny gold beauty yu wondered why it never moved and was outside. I got the story that it was the son's who died in Viet Nam. I figure if I can see it so can thousands of others, yet it still sits. Maybe some have tried, but I never will. I'm sure there are strong emotional reasons that are not for me to judge. I don't need to knock on their door to find out it's not for sale and if I did I'd feel like a real turd. That car has never moved, most paint gone, rusting away, and even the old barn near it has since fallen to the ground. It's just a personal possession for them to do what they see fit with. A damn shame but who am I to judge how someone else deals with their loss?
