TV wall mount problem

Nothing in my life is simple. Ever.

Problem- I used a stud-finder to locate the studs, and got everything all measured up. I drilled the first hole and 'whoops', no stud. Instead of a wooden stud, I found a relatively thin metal backing along the drywall there. I can only assume that this is what a metal stud is.

I am not about to find out the hard way that the bolts provided won't work there. Any ideas on what to use to securely anchor this?

DATA: TV is a Sharp 42' LCD, weight is 66lbs. Plan is to use 4 bolts.
