I think a bit more of context would even be better.
The usage of "discover" and "find out" in english and portuguese comes to mind.
words from the "discover" family, in the english language are generally used when talking about discovering something that nobody or few people knew (somebody discovers a cure for some disease), while "find out" is generally used at a more personal level (somebody finds out that someone else bumped his car)
in portuguese you can only "find" (encontrar) physical things. you can't "find out" information
This makes me thing that in some instances it might be necessary some sort of descriptive context on the meaning
