It's best on wood studs... and actually would not work with aluminum since it is not magnetic. I think most those metal studs are zinc plated steel anyway... which would then work as well.

Vanessa Brunner added this to Quick Fix: Find Wall Studs Without an Expensive Stud Finder
Tiffin was having an impossible time finding the wall studs on a job site with a $70 stud finder. Then someone on the site recommended a big refrigerator magnet. When he needs to search for a wall stud, he wraps it in blue painter's tape, leaving a flap to use as a handle, and drags it along the wall. "When the magnet sticks the wall, you've found your stud," he says. "Then use a level and mark where you want to drill your hole."

I hate trying to find studs. I hang pictures and items everywhere. I am a more is better person. There is so much beauty out there to put on walls and enjoy all the day and night long. Thank you for this wonderful and such a simple trick. I love it!

what a remarkable idea! I never had luck with my stud finder.
