Two ways:

    find /mydir ! -mtime -30 -print
    find /mydir -mtime +30 -print

First is find everything in which modified time is not (!) in the last
30 days (-30).  Second is find everything where modified time is more
than 30 days (+30).  Both should return +/- same result.

Putting latter with a move:

   find /mydir -mtime +30 -exec mv {} /holddir \;
