Default Illustrator Swatch question

I've got a document with a 2-color design. In my swatch panel, I apparently clicked the wrong thing once, because I have the pantone coated and uncoated versions of the same Pantone # (I should only have 2 colors, both uncoated) in there.

So how do I find where that color is hiding in my document?

My normally successful method is to draw a box using the unwanted color, then select>same>fill color, then change 'em all to the desired color and delete the box.

But for some reason this is not working on this document. There are no locked items or locked layers, but when I use the swatch fly-out menu option "select all unused", it insists the coated swatch is still lurking somewhere in there.

Any thoughts?
