File names, or files containing abc on the first line?

Code:
# File names matching abc* older than one month and newer than two months
find . -name 'abc*' -mtime +30 -mtime -60
# Files containing abc in the first three bytes
find . -mtime +30 -mtime -60 -exec sh -c 'sed -n "/^abc/p;q" {} | grep -q . && echo {}' \;

The relative times are a bit weird, I don't think there's an option to use absolute times in find itself but you could run stat on each file along the lines of the second example and examine the month number (and year?).
