The two meanings for find would be
1. To unexpectedly realize something.
2. To unexpectedly realize the existence of something.
Example of definition 1: I walked inside to find a dog waiting in my room. (Realized the dog was a dog in the room.)
Example of definition 2: I never thought I would find aspartame in diet drinks. (Realized the existence of something, in this case aspartame)
I know it isn't much of a difference, but I'd say the homonym for find would be definition 2.
