I know it was put in the attic. Still have the original box. I cannot find it. I cannot get any more guidance because that relative is now gone.
Stud finders aren't a help. Metal detectors aren't effective because of nails and brackets used in construction.
Anyone have a way of seeing through dry wall?
Not sure what you're looking for.... maybe poke a whole through to put in a camera or mirror???
Hire robocop or superman to look through the wall for you?
Go up in the attic and look?
lol.. thats kinda what I was thinking hahahaQuote:

I have a portable X-ray, but still need access to both sides of something for that.
Best bet...about 11pm at night, use a fan to blow out the attic and then use a rental FLIR.
Gun?
Just bring in a room full of innocents and the gun will come out to attack.
lol!!!!!!!!!Quote:

You should still be able to use a metal detector, you should be able to discern a gun from a nail or screw.
Or just start ripping the drywall down.
try a Metal detector. Cheap at wally world.... then return it when you are done!Quote:

So you think it's under the insulation? I don't think it could fall down into a wall.
Fire should do it
BushMasterBoy, sounds like good advice. I will have to try a metal detector.

So, just how much friggin' drywall is up in the attic? And who puts drywall in an attic? I bet if you studied it carefully you could spot right where it is. If I was going to hide something behind drywall, it would be a small, easily removed piece, not some big hard to handle thing. Like maybe a small filler piece?
Just pick one of these up and do it in the evening. Anything metal should retain the day's heat for a couple hours and show up..

If I did, I'd be the pool boy for the women's Olympic swimming team ...Quote:

Personally, I don't go looking for studs no matter what season it is ...Quote:
