Is this a Slave Tag?

[Garabaldi]

I dug this on the beach in South Boston. It was an area where there were slaves during the mid 1700's.
Thank you

Welcome to TreasureNet!

Although your find's not a slave tag, it's a neat item nonetheless. Given its lettering and the location where you found it, I'd say it's probably a claim check/tag of some sort from...

​

"Bathing Beach and Head House, City Point, South Boston, Mass."​

Designed by Edmund M. Wheelwright in 1897, the popular bathhouse and restaurant reportedly derived its name from the fact that it was situated on the head of a peninsula in Boston Harbor.

Thank you very much for your feedback all. I will do some research on that Head House. Nice image you found PBK.
