I did not notice any metal residue on the drill bit. The stud finder gets great reviews and when I knock along the wall I would pick the same spot as the stud finder.

My question; did the builder use metal studs on the interior walls instead of wood 2x4's on my brand new Patio Villa Topaz?

I am going to call the builder on Monday.
Avoid the studs, wood or metal, and use 1/4” Snap Toggles at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
