If the listing above (Oldest/Newest file) was produced by ls, the time
shown is mtime. "find . -mtime 1" will show files older than 24 hours
but newer than 48 hours.

If you tell us which files you were actually seeking for (Along the
lines of "mtime more than 10 hours ago but less than 36 hours ago") we
could try to help you. I guess there is basic misunderstanding what
the different specifiers are and that -mtime -+1 and -mtime 1 are not
one and the same thing.
