Find there's not much sign (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trace

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'find' is the first definition.
(I know that trace is a more specific form of find)

'not much sign' is the second definition.
'trace' can be an answer for 'sign' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'not much' bit.

'there's' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trace that I've seen before include "Side strap connecting a horse to what it's pulling" , "Vestige; manage to find" , "Make a copy using transparent paper" , "Suggestion of rain" , "Discover; remains" .)
