I've had very poor luck with electronic stud finders on my 1950s walls, which I believe are plaster board. The StudPoP promised to work with them, and I'm happy to report, it delivers! It quickly and consistently found studs at the proper spacing that I had previously spent an hour trying to locate ... that the electronic ones couldn't find at all. Gonzo · homedepot.com
