Default What type of studs are used to build Villages houses? Our house built in 2005

We purchased a pre-owned designer house and I working to attach items to an inside wall. I used a stud finder to locate the stud and started drilling. Instead of steady resistance and the drill bit drilling deeper as I added pressure, it seemed to drill a while and then quickly go through. Are these metal studs?

On outside walls it felt like wood studs, but I haven’t done much yet on outside walls.

Any insights would be appreciated as I have not seen how they actually build houses in the Villages.

Thanks in advance.
