How does one find an Oort cloud body? (was Motherlode Earth)

And as we find them, and the resources they represent, they will be the key to our spreading into interstellar space...slowly, true, but an exploring existence has always suited Mankind. And as we work our way out through our Oort cloud, eventually well begin working our way IN tthrough some other stars Cloud and into its system proper. AND ON AND ON, BUILDING AND POPULATING HABITATS AND COLONIES AS WE GO.

I'm confidant astronomers using the detection methods that found Sedna and other deep small bodies in the solar system, or other future methods will eventually find Oort cloud bodies.

Considering we've gone from zero extrasolar planets 20 years ago to 891 today and gone from Pluto as a planet to Pluto demoted due to finding similar bodies in it's neighborhood I doubt it'll take millions of years to find the first one.
