Loss of long time forum friend Monte Berry 😥

I wish a moderator could take the time to sort through all his posts. Sort knowledge by machine.
And to Monte's credit. Make a Permanent knowledge pinned posting of it all.
Yes Monte. Going to miss your knowledge and wisdom. Especially the conversations.
 
This is very sad news for many here on the forum.
Monte was a type of person who'd do whatever he could to help another detectorist.
He & I put a LOT into the AA Batter test thread.
He was buying batteries and sending them to me to add to the test.
We spent a good deal of time in PM's plotting the course & putting the topic together.
He was a tireless companion in the project, lots of late night back channel contributions & communications.
He was an inspiration not just to that project but in anything he got involved with.
"Monte" my friend you will be missed.

aa Battery's Race To 0.8v How Much Interest Is There?

Here is the deal. The other day I started what I would call a real world aa Alkaline Only battery drain test. The goal was to use a FIXED known load wired into a 1 slot aa battery holder with leads. I used a 10watt 4.7ohm resistor for the load for each. I checked the voltages out of the pack...

This is a shock to most of us as Monte was all of our friend and help a lot of people with his knowledge of the detecting . He will be greatly missed .

Condolence to his family as he was a great man that loved his hobby.

I remember several top notch tips and pointers……. Sorry to get that news. RIP

It's a great idea. Many of us would appreciate it. Thank you Odanscoils
 
Sorry to hear about Monte. Never met the man but I always enjoyed reading his post and articles. The Metal Detecting community has lost a national treasure with his passing.

Rest in Peace my friend
 
If I could have edited my last post I would have replaced the youtube video link with this one, same song & singer!
 
Monte will be missed. He always shared what he knew and made it interesting. We even exchanged Christmas presents couple of years ago on another forum. He had his on metal detecting forum if i remember correctly. Monte you will be missed. Thanks for all you did for the metal detecting community

That's a great idea!
I have only a few printed and PDF from some of his posts way back when.
Here is a PDF download linked from his website; about coil skills.

 
His knowledge of this hobby will be truly missed. I remember he would always ask questions about the coil I was using. He also provided a lot of information about each coil. RIP Monte.
