So i mined bitcoins in the older days.
But by my own stupidity i somehow lost all my backups of wallet.dat.
Any scenarios i might be able to get them back somehow?

Here's the stuff i do have:
* Previous addresses found on blockchain(wont share atm cause i want to retrieve it first)

* 12 word passphrase(i tried using electrum on my phone to retrieve my wallet but somehow its another walletaddress? Does this depend on what wallet the 12 passphrase code was used or? I doubt it but it might also be from another address where no bitcoins where on but i really doubt that, also the 12 word passphrase was made on a mac not my android phone)

* 370 dat files i retrieved from my formatted mac with all random character names( So i used photorec and searched for every dat on my mac but names are different so i have no clue if my wallet is in there and how to find it, looked for wallet file to with photorec but did not find anything although the files was wallet.dat and not ***.wallet.

I hzve no clue what software i used on my pc or mac and what version its to long ago.
I think i used bitcoin core on pc and a software which allows 12 passphrase on mac at the same time, i never checked my pc since then, suddenly it was another address i think(on oc).

Thats about all the info i have atm, im willing to send a percentage of my findings if someone can point me in a direction to retrieve my btc.

Thanks in advance.
