Or just

Code:
find ./????10??_*.dat -prune -mtime +91

All depends whether the directory matching the pattern are wanted or not.

Since the -type f option was initially used by stumpy1, i assumed the directory matching the pattern was not expected.

@Perderabo,

I tested your code with my example (and leaving the -mtime last filter) :

Code:
# find . \( ! -name . -type d  -prune \) -o -name 't???*' -type f
./tst2
./taitai
./tyty
./tstt

So you code also return the directories just like this one would :
Code:
 # find ./t???* -prune
./taitai
./tst2
./tstt
./tyty

Just FYI, the tree i have setup for test purpose was :

Code:
# find . -name 't???*' -type f
./tst2
./taitai/tutututu
./tyty/tyty.f
./tyty/toutou/toutou.f
./tstt
