Detecting on any Scheduled Monument is a crime. As you also ought to have the permission of the landowner and i suspect that EH might be none too keen to permit detecting then it is probably trespass, at the very least, and effectively 'nighthawking', which i think EH would feel needs the application of the full force of the law. As pointed out above, CoE might not be too amenable, either.
Also, you might need to think of appropriate conditions of preservation so that both your sword nor manuscript are still recognisable as such, rather than a mess of corroded iron with some silvery and goldie bits, or your manuscript just isn't.
