Hit 500 sweeps cleaned this year and I found something weird in every 50th flue

Was just tallying up my year end numbers and turns out I've done 512 cleanings since January. Not a brag, I'm just surprised I kept that pace. But the weird part is around every 50th job I find something totally random. At 50 it was a kid's toy car. At 100 a full bird nest with eggs. At 150 a metal spoon someone dropped down the flue. At 200 a pair of sunglasses. 250 was a wine bottle. Has anyone else noticed specific intervals where you find junk or is my route just cursed with pranksters?

Sounds like you're running a chimney treasure hunt franchise.

12 out of 10 times I'd call that a fair assessment if I'm being honest. I keep finding old coins and buttons but never hit the big score yet.

That's gotta be frustrating, finding almost nothing...
