My find command isn't finding with -mmin #

I must be interpreting the manual wrong for I can't seem to get
find to locate files using the -mmin # directive. It looks like
one should be able to do:

find . -name "*" -daystart -mmin 120 -print

and it should list all files 2 hours old or newer. It is actually
finding nothing although there are files in the directory that
match the test.

find . -name "*" -daystart -cnewer testfile -print

works but I want to find all files that were created or modified
in the last n minutes.

	Thank you for any help.
