The core may be U-shaped, having a base portion and a first and second arm portions, or L-shaped, having a base portion and a first arm portion (11a). The antenna (10) also has a copper wire coil (12) wound around a first portion of the core; and an aluminum shield (13) affixed to the at least one core surface (11b') and separating the core from the surface of the container. Further, a interrogation system for identifying metallic containers includes the ring antenna (10) coupled to a resonant circuit (86) included in a transponder or a reader.
