atime == last time file was read, usually you want mtime which is what ls -l shows.

Code:
find /ons/sam/ -name 'DS*' -mtime -2

Note: this gives you files less than 48 hours old. If you meant calendar days:
Assume today is Nov 20 2010, two days ago == Nov 18 midnight
Code:
touch -t 201011172359 dummy
find /ons/sam/ -name 'DS*' -newer dummy
