   Wilson county, Robertson county and Williamson county make a triangle around Davidson county

10. For the moment, what you need to know, is that the trail Venerable Carya must stay above and below.

    Carya means hickory tree, so venerable Carya must mean Andrew Jackson, nicknamed Old Hickory...he was insturmental in the Trail of Tears, movement of indians to the west, and this trail splits and is above and below Nashville

11. These waters aren't holy, in fact they're man made. You must now travel West to find where the coin's laid.

    the Nashville International Airport

15. To the west of this place is this clue's key, but don't get mixed up, think A Lord Progeny.

17. Despite its name, grapes do not grow. Proof that south and east you should go.

    there is a small community named Vine

18. Don't feel cheated, this clue is fair, and all you have to do is head north from there.

    a school of some kind..maybe law school

27. Where 95 counties ring from small towers, and three stars shine at all hours, from the source of these chimes you must head backward in time.

    the Carrilions and Court of three stars is at the end of the park, and is exactly as described in the clue above... on the west side of the park are obelisks Pathway of History...with dates from current to back in history with a marker for every 10 years

28. The time to travel to the coin in near, the distance is measured in unlight years.

    I assume the obelisks

29. The coin is found near a location immune to the laws of terrestrial rotation.
