[TheForge] Stud finders

[plumdon at aol.com]

A customer wants to mount a small 37 pound segment of copper ore over 
her fireplace. It is a beautifully colored and textured 24" x 11" piece 
of natural ore that has been sliced into a 1-1/2" thick item.  This is 
a very upscale home and the owners are not tolerant of mistakes. There 
is white oak paneling on the wall over the fireplace. I have no way of 
determining how thick it is. I will be making the mounting brackets, 
etc., and installing. I want to go through to the studs but unsure what 
I might use to find them.  I have seen some devices rated at 1-1/2" but 
never used them, not sure if that is enough depth range or if they 
really work.

Can anyone suggest a device ot technique that might help?

Regards and thanks
