Text: Howdy -- While travelling here in South Florida, got together with a few local Tesla enthusiasts last night. We decided to take a field trip to Coral Castle this afternoon, which is pretty much a mandatory pilgrimage stop for any "alternative science" person. Took along much of my electromagnetic survey tool kit. Following are the observations recorded, in hopes that this will prove useful to some of us. As most of you probably know, Coral Castle was built in the 1930's and '40's by Ed Leedskalnin, a very small man from Latvia who worked alone. He somehow managed to move huge blocks of native coral, which had been excavated at the site. The only tools ever seen there were wholly unsuited to the task of building this artistic edifice. He left several hints as to the techology he used, having claimed to know the "secrets of Egyptian pyramid builders". How he actually built this remains a mystery to this day. In the last few years of his life, Leedskalnin did a lot of electromagnetic research at the site, and published some fairly unremarkable documents. In conversations at various Tesla Symposia, there have been speculations about the possibility that there is something "special" about the site. These measurements are an attempt to see if there is anything to this speculation. CORAL CASTLE 4-10-98 A magnetic field suppression effect was evident at the site. At the electric service entrance, a 3.0 milliGauss (mG) field was found at 13 inches away from the meter. Normally, this level will be found about 36 inches away given this type of installation. There was a primary electric transmission line running near the west wide of the property. No magnetic field was found at or near the fence line. With this type of transmission line, that is an abnormal reading, as at least 6.0 mG would be expected at ground level, at that distance from the line. However, a normal 60 Hz AC electric field was measured, at peak levels of 154 millivolts per square meter about ten feet off the ground. With the simple compass needle deflection test, there was a consistent deflection of about 10 - 15 degrees to the west of normal magnetic north within the site. Similar effects have been found at other geobiologically active sites. By comparison, the deflection was not as marked as that found at the Mornom Temple in Salt Lake City, or near the Dom (cathedral) of Mainz, Germany. It is recommended that the site be revisited, and measurements of DC (earth) magnetic fields be made. Also, a piezoelectric gravity meter as designed by Dan Davidson should be taken there. (Mine is currently out of commission.) Hopefully someone from this list will be able to do these additional measurements. -- Michael Riversong ** P.O.
