Drywall or concrete, hard to tell. - Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum

In my basement the walls have a wood cover, and I am not sure how to tell if there is concrete behind them...

And if I am going to drill into concrete does it matter less than if I was drilling into drywall? I know I dont need to find studs but is there something I need to know?

Of course theres concrete behind the "wood cover", you ever hear of someone pouring a basement with sheetrock?
