This is the general location of what Edgar Cayce said was the continent of Atlantis ... Cayce was a "psychic", but he nailed an amazing number of things in the teens, 20's and 30's ... He also nailed the structures off the coast of Bimini including the year they were discovered.
I've read most of Cayce's "readings". I don't recall the specific nails you refer to, but I do recall:
Cayce predicted that Atlantis would "rise" and to "expect it in 1968 and 1969". [See 958-3, Par. R5.]
As for the location, Cayce placed Atlantis; "between the Gulf of Mexico on the one hand - and the Mediterranean upon the other... the Pyrenees and Morocco on the one hand, British Honduras, Yucatan and America upon the other ... The British West Indies or the Bahamas ... Bimini and in the Gulf Stream through this vicinity..." [See 364-3, Par. R2]
Imho, that covers quite a chunk of territory, hardly a "nail".

The road to Atlantis? ...The Bimini Road part of the debate dates back to the 1930s, when Cayce went into a hypnotic trance and predicted evidence would be found near the island in the 1960s.
As the date neared, so did the searches for Atlantis, and several private pilots reported seeing what appeared to be a man-made anomaly in the waters off Bimini.
In the 1970s, David Zink, an amateur geologist who was formerly an English professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy, took samples of the stones to a Houston psychic, who concluded they were part of fallen pillars from a sacred temple built around 28,000 B.C. The temple was built primarily by Atlanteans, Zink concluded, and their subcontractors were aliens from the star cluster Pleiades.
More scientific expeditions have been conducted in the area with inconclusive results. Skeptics say the Bimini Road is a natural formation of native beachrock and, indeed, seemingly similar formations can be found along the shorelines of North and South Bimini.
Others have suggested the rocks are ballast dumped from sailing ships...
Many of Cayce's "nails" were related to his readings for various individuals who lived during New Testament times. Subsequent translations of Dead Sea scrolls and archeological digs verified his description of the people and their customs, and events in those times, not known at the time of the readings. There's a book covering his "nails"; I don't know the name of it. Check with the ARE Press.
I was at the ARE in the summer of '68, when some guys runs up to the porch with a newpaper. I saw with my own eyes a story in the NY Times (I think it was the Times) with a aerial photograph included with the article of a (large, it seemed like) )roofless, rectangular structure, the rim of which was visible on the surface of the water.
It was off the coast of Bimini, after a seismic disturbance in the area. The article stated that British and American scientists were on site. For years afterward I looked for current reporting that had to do with it and I found none. The only thing I have seen is a discussion of some maybe road headed into the ocean.
