A glassy metal alloy consists essentially of the formula: FeaCobNicMdBeSifCg, where "M" is at least one member selected form the group consisting of molybdenum, chromium and manganese, "a-g" are in atom percent, "a" ranges from about 30 to about 45, "b" ranges form about 4 to about 40, "c" ranges from about 5 to about 45, "d" ranges from about 0 to about 3, "e" ranges from about 10 to about 25, "f" ranges from about 0 to about 15 and "g" ranges from about 0 to about 2. The alloy can be cast by rapid solidification into ribbon, annealed to enhance magnetic properties, and formed into a marker that is especially suited for use in magneto-mechanically actuated articles surveillance systems. Advantageously, the marker is characterised by relatively linear magnetization response in the frequency regime wherein harmonic marker systems operate magnetically. Voltage amplitudes detected from the marker are high, and interference between surveillance systems based on mechanical resonance and harmonic re-radiance is virtually eliminated.
