Trying to locate a concealed wooden fixing behind a tiled/plasterboard wall.
Are 'stud finders' any good for this? My previous experiences is with metal
detectors that looked for powered cables (there aren't any), nails (there
are few) or pipes (there are several, but they're red herrings).

I read that some are able to use capacitance to trace out what's beneath the
surface - would they be any good for this kind of problem? Would the tiles
confuse things? Tried tapping the wall, but the results are inconclusive.

The Zircon triscanner I use is good at finding studs through normal
plasterboard (no good with foil backed though).
