The word find is from Old English where many words had either Y or I for the long I sound, in the forms -indan or -inden.

Most of the shortened -IND words adopted the long I sound, except for a few such as the noun form of wind (originally a long E sound).

The word "find" has a long vowel sound because it follows the pattern of "i-consonant-e" in English where the final "e" at the end of the word serves to make the vowel before it long.
