Hi, yes they're mostly random you can find them on different places, yet the odds are set so eventually you should'nt have much trouble finding them all, just pick Stone, cut grass,dig the ground or kill monsters as you would do normally, and everytime you dont find one to odd's to find another increases.
Its a pretty clever mechanic.

From the Wiki:
Secret Notes are collectible notes that can be unlocked by walking to the Bus Stop from The Farm during Winter between 6am and 4pm. The player will see a cutscene in which a "Shadow Guy" (who could be Krobus) startles and runs away. After seeing the cutscene, the quest "A Winter Mystery" is added to the player's journal.
The Shadow Guy's footsteps lead to a bush next to the playground, left of the Community Center. If the player interacts with the bush, the Shadow Guy will pop out of it, apologize for stealing, give the player a Magnifying Glass, then run away. The Magnifying Glass gives the player the ability to find Secret Notes while digging, chopping trees, mining, fishing, or killing monsters.

I think you find them in order, but no specific locations or patterns.

The following table lists the different actions that can spawn a secret note.
The "Chance" column below indicates the probabilities that the game will attempt to spawn a secret note. When such an attempt is made, the game performs a further check to see if it succeeds, based on the number of notes of the appropriate type (Journal Scraps on Ginger Island, regular Secret Notes elsewhere) that the player has already found. If all notes have been found, the check fails. Otherwise, the probability of success is a linear function of the number of notes found, where there's an 80% chance of success if no notes have been found, and a 12% chance of success if all but one have been found [1].
* Resource Clump = Large Stump, Large Log, Meteorite, or Boulder (inside or outside The Mines).
