You can use Tooling API for querying the Metadata. Here are the steps to get this done - 
  1. Go to Workbench
  2. After logging in, select REST Explorer from the Utilities menu in top right corner -User-added image
  3. And then enter the below lines in the search bar and click on 'Execute' button - 
    /services/data/v39.0/tooling/query?q=SELECT DeveloperName FROM FieldDefinition WHERE EntityDefinition.DeveloperName = 'Contact' AND LastModifiedDate = TODAY
  4. You will get the list of fields created today - 
    User-added image
If you have any more queries, feel free to contact me.
