A look at /etc/periodic/daily on my box shows that find runs quite often.
It's a good chance that is what you are seeing.

<rubina>: jpc % cd /etc/periodic/daily/
<rubina>: daily % grep find *
100.clean-disks:find / \( ! -fstype local -o -fstype rdonly \) -a -prune -o \
110.clean-tmps: find . -type f -atime +3 -ctime +3 ! -name '.X*-lock' \
110.clean-tmps: find -d . ! -name . -type d -mtime +1 -delete
110.clean-tmps: find . ! -name . -atime +7 -ctime +3 -delete
110.clean-tmps: find -d . ! -name . ! -name vi.recover -type d -mtime +1
-delete
120.clean-preserve:     cd /var/preserve && find . ! -name . -mtime +7 -delete
140.clean-rwho: cd /var/rwho && find . ! -name . -mtime +7 -delete
150.clean-hoststat:     cd /var/spool/.hoststat && find * -mtime +3 -delete
