Try mmin. In any case, check the manual on your system for find to see what options you have.
Also, if you're looking for files exactly six hours old, you may not find any. You may need to do -mmin +360 for files over six hours old, or -mmin -360 for files less than six hours old, depending on what you're trying to do.
