Cal_Cobra Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I had the pleasure to speak with Monte on the phone several times, and visit with him at one of his early Nevada WTHO trips. He introduced us to a standardized test methodology with his nail board. Between his great stories going back to the dawn of metal detecting, along with his dedication to push the envelope forward in regards to his perusal of relic hunting, Monte was a detecting legend. RIP Monte, you'll be missed.🤠 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post EL NINO77 Posted March 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2023 The fact that Mr. Monte Berry is no longer with us... is very sad news for me personally. It made me very sad..also because I considered him to be a very good and honest person...who always knew how to help with his advice and experience...not only beginners but also experienced detectorists... ... You know...Just yesterday I read on AHRPS forum.. how Mr. Monte is preparing for the next detection season and what detectors and coils he will use for that...I was looking forward to seeing that he is in good health and condition... Mr. Monte was one of the pioneers of standardized testing from the point of view of separation..and the evaluation of the separation properties of the detector.....which gave a strong impetus... to the further development of detectors.....where one of the decisive detection properties... is right target separation between the iron... It was Mr. Monte many years ago who incited in me the idea of the importance of good separation properties of the detector...as a very important element in detection... .. First of all, I want to mention that he also helped me... When Mr. Monte saw some of my tests in which I used copies of his separation test.....He sent me his original "Monte Performance Nailboard Test"... Mr. Monte I will miss you too...,, ...one of the best has left... ....My sincere condolences to His Family and Friends.... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhaseTech Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 13 hours ago, Steve Herschbach said: I never met Monte directly, but via his many posts years ago about the early Tesoro detectors and relic hunting with them in dense iron. That was always his thing and he was very expert at it, and shared that knowledge with many others. Yes, when I think of Monte this is the first thing that comes to mind. Sorry to hear of his passing. I enjoyed watching his personal arsenal of detectors evolve over time, and his explanations of why he had certain detectors in his kit. He also knew the early Nokta Makro detector offerings very well, and I followed his commentaries on findmall closely. Another guru gone, may he RIP 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
