There are 1/4 inch plastic ties about every 8 inches in the ICF blocks beneath your sheetrock. They are rated to hold several hundred pounds each. We've got cabinets hung on them.

Some stud finders can detect them, but not mine. You can measure from a corner to find where the ties are supposed to be. Another trick is to use a small magnet to find your drywall screws. They're inserted in the ties. The next "stud" will be 8 inches away.
