locating a detail bubble

I have a detail drawing shown in the list of the Project Map. I can’t figure out where on the plan or in Section/Elevations this detail is taken from. The detail drawing does not show any data that would be a clue. Is there a command to locate the detail tool placement that originally created the detail? I have several obsolete details like this and I would like to clean them out of my working file

Right click on the detail in the Project Map, and there may be an option to "Find Linked Markers..." -- if not, then it's an Independent Detail and not linked to anything!

It's possible that it's an independent detail and does not have a source. Which icon is next to the Detail?

NOTE: If the detail's layer is turned off .... this option will not appear. You may want to turn all layers on to check.
