It took me over a minute of frantic searching just to find the pulse! About 60 beats/minute, I have vague memories of it being down to 50 back when I was in shape. Drats.
A funny memory just surfaced: A few years ago I was at a tech expo, in one of the booths you could try a heart beat meter for fun. I put it on, my heartrate was at about 80 from running around on the expo. But it was climbing fast, because I was a bit nervous, and the climbing rate made me even more nervous! So somehow I scared myself to a shocking 220 bpm in less than a minute, when I just ripped the thing off. I didn't even know my heart could beat so fast. It was freaky.
