This test is irrelevant to the OP's problem.

But do you have *files* (-type f) that have "ssh" in their name and
don't start with a dot (-name \*)?

If you drop both the "type -f" and "-name \*" predicates your .ssh
directory will show up just fine.

However, "-maxdepth 1" will keep find from recursing into that
directory:

$ touch .ssh/file
$ find . -name file
./.ssh/file
$ find . -maxdepth 1 -name file
$
