I lost my stud finder. I read where you can detect nails using a magnet suspended from a piece of string. It does not work. It does detect the metal strips where the walls intersect. Is there another method?

The magnet WILL find drywall screws or nails if you do it right. Not
easy, but DEAD ACCURATE
