Default Grab bar in our shower stall

We are getting old and need a grab bar in the shower stall. The walls are
covered with 2x2 ceramic tiles, probably over sheetrock and standard studs
(standard construction).

How can I located the studs under the tiles in order to fasten the bar
securely? My little magnet gizmo for finding nails in the wallboard does not
seem to work through the layer of tiles. My clairvoyance is also not working
today. :-)

Once I know where the studs are, I can drill holes through the tiles with a
carbide drill and use lag screws to fasten the grab bar.

Thanks
