I have this one. Zircon MetalliScanner m40- FFP... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZF8Y6ZW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I have a Zircon I picked up on Amazon for pretty cheap. Nothing fancy, but has worked pretty well so far.

Buy this thing fam
Stud finders work terribly on lath and plaster. Buy this hand-held metal detector instead:
https://www.amazon.com/Zircon-m40-FFP-Handheld-Electronic-Detector/dp/B00ZF8Y6ZW
You'll use this to sense the metal nails that hold the lath strips to the stud. So it's basically a "stud finder" for lath and plaster.
Don't screw anything into the lath, even with toggle bolts. Find the studs and screw into them. Screw into the middle of the stud and you won't hit any wiring.
P.S. save up $70 for the speaker stands and don't destroy these awesome old walls.
I'm trying this one which I found recommended in another thread:
