I’m trying to mount a 55” TV in a 2014 apartment building and every pilot hole stops at about 3/4” depth.

This happens whether I’m on what I think is a stud or not, and at multiple heights across the wall. The wall has a coax outlet and is the obvious TV wall.

When I put the drill bit back in the hole and tap the obstruction, it sounds metallic. The drill keeps spinning but won’t go any deeper. No metal shavings. The wall sounds pretty much the same everywhere when I knock on it.

I also can’t angle the bit and find a cavity behind whatever I’m hitting. It feels solid.

Interior wall, not exterior.

I’ve never hung a tv before anywhere so any advice would be appreciated.
