I personally don't know anything about detect hidden, but on the forever wiki - looks like you should be targeting yourself, when hidden I'd assume, but you could test to be sure.

Recommended Training
0-50: Buy from Thieves Guild NPC
50-100: Use detect hidden on self

You can hold it in your backpack if you are going to target a box. You should be able to GM it while detecting on yourself. Just remember, gaining in houses is -50% -25% gaining over world is +0% and doing so in a dungeon is +50%

If you don't feel comfortable training in a dungeon, do so at Brit bank. If you can let it run over night, you should be close to GM by morning.


Edit: Corrected the -% for being in a house
