Key recovery from seed mnemonic

I'm trying to recover particular key to known public address with some balance. The problem is that I've got old 12-word mnemonic from 2014 and I don't know which software wallet was used to create it. Luckily mnemonic is correct and checksum is right.

Using some default BIP32 derivation paths and Mnemonic Code Converter I haven't been able to find that particular public address. As I understand it, wallet software used to create this mnemonic was using some non-standard derivation path. Is there any way to "bruteforce", ie try to find public address by trying all possibilities of derivation paths?

Is there a definitive list of all derivation paths to check?
