'Find' is a word with a multitude of meanings as in, to discover by searching, to realise that something exists, (I came home to find the cat has had kittens) to specifically exist somewhere ( you find these plants only in the rain forest) to find your way (by means of a map) to find fault with, to feel in a particular way about someone, (I find him difficult to talk to), to make a judgment in a law court (to find someone guilty)

To detect something is to discover something, usually with special equipment (radar equipment for example, your nose would detect a fragrance, hearing will detect an accent, cars with on-board computers to detect traffic jams.
