Abstract
A magnetic marker of the present invention includes a magnetic thin wire for generating pulses and bodies of soft magnetic materials that are arranged close to the two ends of the thin wire that have a smaller coercive force than the magnetic thin wire. The magnetic thin wire has a diameter of 60-115 .mu.m and has a ratio of B.sub.r /B.sub.s of a B-H loop of 0.8 or more. Thus, a small magnetic marker can be formed which provides a large Barkhausen effect even if it contains a very short magnetic thin wire.
