I haven't even found any Hunts Linkshells so I could get at least 1 sands for my i100 weapon
Linkshells are the more definitive gateway into statics and coil clears than anything else in this game.
Same way you do RP walk-ups: talk to folks out of the blue.
Ask around in the linkshells you're already in.
Ask your friends, and ask them to ask their friends for you.
Keep an eye out for PvE FCs, note their guildmasters, and throw those people or their company members some tells, something like, "hey, I was wondering if your FC is raiding SCoB, do you guys have any statics that are looking for fills/subs/more permanent fixtures? Do they a need a ___?"
Go sit in Fallgourd Float and listen to shouts for a while. Sometimes folks advertise there in order to recruit folks for SCoB, the way they used to in Mor Dhona for FCoB. Hell, sit in Revenant's Toll for a while, too.
Keep an eye on PF for advertisements for statics.
As for hunts, that's harder. I haven't done this yet, but I was planning on asking about and seeing if I could get any word on what THE Hunt LS's are on Balmung, and then tracking down someone with a silver star for an invite once I'm ready to get into hardcore Hunting. As an example, American Steaktheory was the dominant Hunt LS on Gilg for a while (not sure if it still is). Â

Step away from it longer. I'm talking weeks to months, not mere days.
