find / \ -newer $1

Above is the code I have so far. I am trying to make find find all files newer then the argument 1 while only staying in the current directory. I have tried various ways of using prune but I cant seem to find one that works. Any suggestions?

Thank you

    You want the -maxdepth 1 flag. Why are you using find / if you want to operate on the current directory? It should be something like:

    find . -maxdepth 1 -newer $1
