The people who installed air conditioning ducts in my house used stiff
pieces of wire with a crude tip. Must have been cheap, they had them in
bundles and quite a few bent and were discarded but most went thru and
were left in place so they could measure from both sides.

Home Depot and some, have 3/16 bits in about that length. I've used those to
find what's on the other side of a baseboard, or something.

Sometimes a putty knife can be used to pull the shoe molding away from
baseboards. Drill in the gap. When you are done, the molding will
cover the hole.

When I installed floor registers in my first ever job we used wire coat
hangers - all job sites have some. Just straighten one out, cut end off
with diagonal cutters to make a crude drill tip. We drilled through 3/4"
oak flooring on 3/4" plywood decking with amazing ease. You have to
guide the tip into the wood.
