For many people, history is signified by buildings, ships and roads, but the most indelible reminders of the countless individuals who formerly occupied an area lay in the dirt beneath their feet.
Buckles, buttons and bullets are just some of the items a local man finds when he goes in search of history in Greene County. Bill Bufkin, of Avera, uses historical research and a bit of technology to uncover lost traces of the people who once were here.
