Can you elaborate? The find info pages say
Each file has three time stamps, which record the last time that
certain operations were performed on the file:
1. access (read the file's contents)
2. change the status (modify the file or its attributes)
3. modify (change the file's contents)
There is no "creation" filestamp, IIRC, struct inode only has atime,
ctime, and mtime, as above. Gurus, please confirm or deny?

Check the -mindepth, -maxdepth options of find.
