It’s a supporting wall with a door and 2 outlets. On the other side is a staircase, so I assumed it had studs. I tried checking for nails in the baseboards but it’s hard to see since the baseboards are a natural finish.

I can’t find the studs on my wall. Trying to mount a TV and I feel like fucking stupid!

I have a zircon studfinder which has worked well in the past…. Currently not flagging studs consistently on this wall. Took the sockets out to see where the studs were, tapped to confirm. So far I’ve drilled 8 pilot holes and I don’t think a single one is in the studs.

Is it possible the studs are 36” apart? I think it might be lath and plaster but I’m not sure. Could I mount a relatively heavy tv and bracket using anchors into lath and plaster?

Or should I just give up at this point?
