I wasn't expecting an electrical wire so high in the wall, but this scanner picked it up.

magnet works better

Stud finder
Would RecommendNeeded an instrument to find studs behind drywall in bedroom for hanging shelves. Didn't want to spend a lot for a mega-function finder. Found this one in the tool section. Reasonably priced. Had the functions I needed. Worked great! Got me the results I wanted.
