Just thought I would mention that it is possible that a layer of OSB exists between your drywall and the studs. This was the case with my attached garage. Assuming there is living space on the other side of that wall.
The wall that connects a Garage to a living space is built like an exterior house wall without the siding.
If this is the case it can cause erratic readings on a stud finder. It also means that the drywall screws can be anywhere and do not need to hit studs.

Thanks for this assurance. My garage is attached to a living space, and this makes more sense than anything else. I think this is also the reason why I had to use all 3 stud finders on high sensitivity mode.:beer:
