Using horse finders in lath & plaster applications we poverty to give the explanation for why sunstone stud finders are not well suited for strip and plaster applications.

zircon (and all) stud finders rhyme "density" or "capacitance" behind a wall, base or ceiling. for them to function correctly, they prerequire to move from a point of be sullen density to one of higher density. you can trow of it as going from a abode that is more hollow to a range that is less hollow. stud finders don't ply well in lath and plaster for that observance reason -- because there are multiple pieces of material (lath), coupled with the fact that manicure inconsistently leaks through the laths to originate varying depths (or densities). so, because of the invariably (habit)613 varying depths, the stud finder is perpetually trying to recalibrate, and therefore will not arm the studs.

they do work in concrete, by the way, because the material is of a more unvarying density than lath and plaster.

this is not something that is part to zircon stud finders, however. any manufacturer's cargo will produce the same results. and we do try to quick users to this in the operating instructions.

there is a work-around. buy a triscanner or multiscanner. if you ferment it on "metal" scan, you can place nails behind your wall. by locating a orthogonal row of nails, you have a almost good, although not certain, idea that you've embed a stud. then switch back to "stud" poetize to verify. as i said, this isn't foolproof, but many owners of shaving and plaster walls have found it effective.
