You are so correct! Actually I was in autotune mode (all metal) on my CZ5 and in discrimination mode it read as round pulltab. It was below the nickel range and even foil! Great observation! Noticed that also!

Wow that is a bit lower than I expected since your ring looks like it has a good amount of metal was kinda leaning towards being close to nickel and from what you said it is a fair amount lesser. On my E-Trac a 22 short shell(minus bullet) is like 03 conductive I think. Think a 22 long shell is like 04.

Actually the scale on the CZ5 is a little different. It is a very heavy ring but round pulltabs are calibrated differently on the CZ. It is as follows: IRON, ROUND PULLTAB, FOIL, SQUARE TAB, NICKEL, PENNY, SILVER COIN. Most gold rings come in at the foil range or square tab, but this one came in as round pulltab....Most detectors just id square tabs, whereas the CZ had a round tab category as well.
