Find Files within date Range

Hi
i am looking to expand a command i am using to find files in a large file system.
i am currently using

find /raid/JOBFLOW_LOCKED/ -type f -size +3G | -exec mv {} /raid/JOBFLOW_LOCKED/KILL \;

This works really well but i would like to add a date range to the same command to refine it further, example:finding files between 21-04-2014 to 26-08-2014

Can some one please assist me in this.

Thanks in advance
Treds

File::Find::Rule::Extending(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    File::Find::Rule::Extending(3)

NAME

       File::Find::Rule::Extending - the mini-guide to extending File::Find::Rule

SYNOPSIS

	package File::Find::Rule::Random;
	use strict;

	# take useful things from File::Find::Rule
	use base 'File::Find::Rule';

	# and force our crack into the main namespace
	sub File::Find::Rule::random () {
	    my $self = shift()->_force_object;
	    $self->exec( sub { rand > 0.5 } );
	}

	1;

DESCRIPTION

       File::Find::Rule went down so well with the buying public that everyone wanted to add extra features.  With the 0.07 release this became a
       possibility, using the following conventions.

   Declare your package
	package File::Find::Rule::Random;
	use strict;

   Inherit methods from File::Find::Rule
	# take useful things from File::Find::Rule
	use base 'File::Find::Rule';

       Force your madness into the main package

	# and force our crack into the main namespace
	sub File::Find::Rule::random () {
	    my $self = shift()->_force_object;
	    $self->exec( sub { rand > 0.5 } );
	}

       Yes, we're being very cavalier here and defining things into the main File::Find::Rule namespace.  This is due to lack of imaginiation on
       my part - I simply can't find a way for the functional and oo interface to work without doing this or some kind of inheritance, and
       inheritance stops you using two File::Find::Rule::Foo modules together.

       For this reason try and pick distinct names for your extensions.  If this becomes a problem then I may institute a semi-official registry
       of taken names.

   Taking no arguments.
       Note the null prototype on random.  This is a cheat for the procedural interface to know that your sub takes no arguments, and so allows
       this to happen:

	find( random => in => '.' );

       If you hadn't declared "random" with a null prototype it would have consumed "in" as a parameter to it, then got all confused as it doesn't
       know about a '.' rule.
