I had mixed results using a stud finder, but a neodymium magnet found them easily and reliably. This was a trussed roof with rubber overlayment.
Unfortunately mine is stick framed. As far as I know there are no metal roof beams that I'm aware of. Grey Wolf 22MKSE
Mine is wood frame roof too. Truss refers to wood construction. The magnet finds the staples or screws that secure the sheathing to the trusses (rafters if you prefer).
Ah, I see. Good idea on the magnets. I'll definitely use that if my stud finder isn't much help.
