Now that you mentioned it makes a lot of sense that there would be the overlap and even before the Stargate program the Watchers may have tried to recruit Daniel, who knows he might have done a semester or two at their academy and decided it wasn't for him...
I definitely agree that Immortals would be an open secret, especially since so many of them seem to hang aourd the old stuff, Methos is so surprising because he deals so well with technology, being the one who designed the Watcher's database. And some like Constantino who managed a museum would be in contact with many in the academic community and there is only so much that you can pass of as family resemblance and continuing occupations.
Now that I think about there aren't many immortals who change their M.O. like Methos did going through several professions and phases most seem to pick one thing and go with it, like Amanda and her thievery.
If anyone would figure out Methos secret would be Daniel... he would be the person to connect the beginning and evolution of the legend and come up with the solution that his old friend who thought appears to have aged hasn't really... he has seen enough weirdness to not noticed something or dismiss it because it is unlikely. And Methos who likes to have people to talk to who challenge would welcome the chance to talk... and for Daniel if he could get Methos into the program then he could also share some of his experiences with an outsider historian who would appreciate it without breaking his nondisclosure agreement.
Imagine the things they could argue and compare, especially with regards of what Daniel knows from Egypt because of the Goul'd and the time travel and what Methos experienced... he would find someone who would understand and believe that Helen of Troy really wasn't all that beautiful
