Odd ring

OK guys, my lady friend with her Ace-250 and I with my Xterra-70 went and hunted the fresh water beach last night (OK early this morning) before the crowd showed up and did quite well. The question I have is why one specific ring she found seems to give my machine fits? I air tested it at home when we got back and my numbers jumped from upper 20s to lower 40s. I checked with some rings I have and the silver and white gold held a perfect 8 repeatable, and an old Air Force ring held at 42. Could hers be titanium?Thanks.....Boris
 
Lot's of questions first.

1. Are you testing "back home" indoors with interference?
2. Where did it ID on the ACE?
3. Is the ring cracked or damaged in any way?
4. Is it an open ring, like a toe ring?
5. Does the ring have multiple openings in it's design?
6. Is the ring a composite ring with different combined metals in it?
7. Does the ID vary as you rotate the ring?
8. What coil are you using?
9. What are your settings?


Can you post a a close up(Macro), high resolution set of photos from multiple angles? Someone may have found a similar ring if we get a look at it.

Titanium rings are very light weight. Perhaps yours is stainless steel? Most stainless rings will have no marks inside the band.

Thank you guys, I believe it was " 5" because the ring did have multiple openings in it to hole small stones. It may have been stainless too. I am sorry but I am still so new to this that I am still on my second set of batteries. She is even newer, last night was her first time, ha ha. But to answer Bill my ground balance was auto-11 because of the freshwater beach. My sensitivity was only on 16 (from a previous search) and I had the standard search coil.I can't take a great pic of it yet but I think you answered my question just fine Thanks. I was asking because I am trying to learn , I have ignored signals like this.
 
If it is stainless it will be mildly magnetic. Take a "STRONG" magnet to it. If it is stainless it will bounce on an X-Terra, over the years I have found many pounds of stainless bolts, washers, nuts, pins, cable etc. They bounce over various ID's depending on shape size etc.

Once again thanks, I will try the magnet thing the next time she visits. I will ask her to bring it with her. I knew it was not a fault of the machine I am just trying to gain knowlege.
 
Was your tracking on in your air test? If so try setting it to #45 manually and see what happens.
