Are you running an non GNU system? I believe that only the GNU version of the find command allows you to search for files created/modified in the last few minutes or hours... However your question has been answered on this site several times before. Go to the FAQs and on that page, look for the 'advanced/complex uses of the find command'. The posts in that will be exactly what you want.
