A strong magnet will work as a stud finder!

I have the same walls as you, and also couldn't figure out why my electronic stud finder was going crazy. I was hanging a TV and didn't want to take any chances, so I hired a handyman. He pulled a magnet out of his toolkit and stuck it to the wall. (It finds the nails in the stud.)

This guy demonstrates here: https://youtu.be/JOLRl8aqWFw?t=61

I might just have a professional do it. Where did you go to hire your handyman?

My tv is 63 lbs and I want to put it on a full motion extendable swivel mount, so don't want to risk it.

Yes I found my guy on Task Rabbit. Cost something like $75 an hour but I think it was worth it.
