How do I do a recursive search within multiple directory levels?

The data that I obtain is structured in a way where its files resside within a seemingly random number of folders within folders (some are within subdirectries, some are within 5 layers of misc. folders). I could count the number of files and do a multiple for-loops, but that seems inefficient. Is there a way to extract specfic files that are within multiple layers of folders into a directory?
I know the wildcard operator:
'**'
but it only seesm to search within subdirectories. I need to search even deeper than subdirectories. Is there a way to do this?

path/*/target is searching one level of directory.
path/**/target searches any number of levels
