This was also confusing to me at first. I asked my coworkers who gave me a 
good answer and also was pointed at a useful answer on the mailing list - 
so between you and me and some other folks asking questions, you aren't 
alone in your confusion! :)

The short answer is that you must request _timestamp being returned to you:

# Here, I ask for _source and _timestamp to be shown to me:
% curl 'localhost:9200/archivist/_search?pretty&fields=_timestamp,_source'
{
  "took" : 1,
  "timed_out" : false,
  "_shards" : {
    "total" : 5,
    "successful" : 5,
    "failed" : 0
  },
  "hits" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "max_score" : 1.0,
    "hits" : [ {
      "_index" : "archivist",
      "_type" : "image",
      "_id" : "jUWknMq1RmusrlU6hP2BGw",
      "_score" : 1.0,
      "_source": { "fancy": "pants whoa"},
      "fields" : {
        "_timestamp" : 1413417808235
      }
    } ]
  }
}
