Just place the stud finder on the wall and sweep in an "S" pattern to locate any metal fastener.

The ergonomically designed, China made product is guaranteed to last a lifetime of being tossed, dropped, and banged around.
From the Manufacturer
Positively locates nails and screws with powerful "neodymium" magnets. The magnetic stud finder works like magic. It sticks to the wall leaving your hands free--no batteries, no calibration, no lights, no hassle. It works on wood or metal studs, and uses multiple industrial strength magnets to “Field Vector” the stud. This is the last stud finder you will ever buy. Simply slide the flat surface of the magnetic stud finder slowly across a wall in a circular or "S" motion until you feel a strong pull to a nail head or screw. Once you have the magnetic stud finder directly above a nail head or screw, let it go and it sticks to the wall.

The magnet on this tiny little pocket-sized stud-finder is STRONG. Any time I forgetfully slip it into my pocket that I keep my keys in, I have to pry it off of my keys and any other random bits of metal (nails, screws, paper clips, everyday carry keychain tools, etc) I might’ve been carrying around me haha.
In addition to working as a stud-finder and quick level-check, the strength of the magnet also makes it handy for quickly finding dropped screws on the ground — just run this along any area where you might’ve dropped something metal, and this little beast will grab it.
I like to use this alongside an electric stud-finder when possible — the electric ones (the battery-powered scanners) can be prone to false positives and and often need to be run across walls multiple times, but they can also provide more insight into where the center of the stud is, if there’s the danger of live electrical wires behind the wall, and the rough depth of the wood, etc. — whereas this classic magnet-style one will simply clamp onto whatever part of the wall has some metal behind it… But by using both the electric ones and the old-school magnet style stud finders on separate passes, you can quickly narrow things down to the safest places to drill.
For what it's worth, there are a couple walls in the new house that does not really follow general building rules and when I tried the Zircon stud finder - the damn thing went berzerk! If i followed what the finder said, I think I had a waffle patterned wood frame! Yes, I do know how to operate an Elec finder, I did calibrate it and it is a drywall material not plaster lathe. I posted my review of that stud finder and apparently the Zircon rep found it not useful. LOL surprise surprise. So I used this as a fall back and guess what? I was able to find the studs to install my flat panel fireplace, mount the flatscreen wall mount, put up 2 large canvas paintings and other wall items. Not too shabby for a simple tool huh? I left off a star because when it did fly out of my hand to stick to I guess a cluster of nails or something...it did leave a slight scuff but nothing a simple touch up couldn't fix.
For what it's worth...this is my honest experience with this.
