1. Please come and find me.
2 Please come to find me.

Are the sentences correct?

Many thanks.

In the first you ask the person to come and, after arriving, to find you.
In the second you ask the person to come for the purpose of finding you.

I've also heard, "Please come find me." Here the meaning is less clear...might just be a lazy form?

Actually, the second sounds a bit awkward to me. I prefer the first or the version without either "and" or "to." Which is more correct? I don't know.
