You can also scan for them with the TV remote. Pan it slowly across the wall while holding down the power button. If you suddenly feel horny, you found a stud.

SLPT Trying to hang a TV and don't know where a stud is? Start drilling holes in the wall till you find one! That's where the TV goes | Spyke
I mean, a TV is pretty big right? Man, you could miss so many times and still cover all the holes up with the TV.
I feel so attacked right now lmao. My mom and I actually did this once.
Also stand in a bucket of water. If you get a big shock then you're close!
Just duct tape that shit up yo!
This is LPT. I have done this multiple times. Stud finders don't always work on really old plaster walls.
That's what I came here to say. Plaster walls don't care about your beeping stud finder.
I hung a TV in an 1800s house and my stud finder worked fine. Definitely plaster and lath.
That's where the good old nocking trick comes in. 😉
My boss did this with a screwdriver in company walls. The TV did, in fact, cover up the holes.
