Your table's in migration is called 'admin' but in query you are looking for 'admins'.

You can specific table name in your model by $table:

/**
 * The table associated with the model.
 *
 * @var string
 */
protected $table = 'admin';

Laravel convention is that table names should be plural in this case: https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/eloquent

So I recommend you to change your migration from 'admin' to 'admins'.
