Default Easy way to find joists above a lath and plaster ceiling?

I was hoping you were going to answer Anna, thank you. I tried the
tapping others have suggested - slightly better than the stud
detector, but still very hit and miss - the fine drillings worked
best.

No need to fill the holes, as they're directly above the timber plate
(I already have a laser line to follow, it's just finding the
intersections with loft joists that's the trouble!)

Thanks to all for your suggestions.
