Heh, I knew there would be a couple bad jokes immediately, but still wanted to get in while the getting was good. I need to buy one some day as well.

Is there any electronic stud finder that isn't just a fancy bag of blips and beeps hung on the side of what is, at the end of the day, just a magnet?

I mean...is there something that uses like X-rays to find them more accurately than the one my dad gave me that is like 30 years old and is just a magnet on a spindle inside a clear plastic box?

I thought it was a capacitor, not a magnet?

Yah but it doesn't seem much more accurate, although as they get cheaper, it's not so bad.
I guess there are some that use RADAR. I would get one of those for the WOW factor. For now, I'll just keep the analog one 😀
