#find files by modification time
-------------------------------
find . -mtime 1               # 24 hours
find . -mtime -7              # last 7 days
find . -mtime -7 -type f      # just files
find . -mtime -7 -type d      # just dirs


find with time: this works on mac os x
--------------------------------------
find / -newerct '1 minute ago' -print

You can use the find command for this.

Touch a file with your specific date and then use that file with the -newer parameter of find.

# To find all files modifed on 10th of Dec:

touch -t 12100000 foo
#        MMDDhhmm

find ./ -type f -maxdepth 1 -newer foo

You can use find with the mtime parameter:

find . -maxdepth 1 -mtime -1h30m
