Have used "Zircon" for years. Very basic but works well.

I still use the old tap with my knuckles technique /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif. Of course both of my Grandfathers were carpenters so I must have learned a little bit from them. Tap, tap, tap, thud.. there it is.

Raggie, I said that too to my former girlfriend. Notice the word former, ha, ha. I guess she didn't agree when I held it up to my chest and wondered why it didn't go off.

My very old Zircon works well. The newer one has more features but isn't more reliable.

If you have a compass handy you can use that also. Hold the compass flat against the wall like a stud finder and the needle will move when it passes over a nail.

If you're going to cover the site with a picture or something a small nail, in conjunction with "tap, tap" will help. Don't forget, studs are normally (but not always) 16" center to center. Also, an electric switch or plug box will almost always be attached to a stud.
