For the archives: No.  This is not going to do what the OP wants at all.
In fact, if there's more than one file named 1000.*, it won't even work
(find will produce a "find: paths must precede expression" error).  For
details, "info find" and "info bash".

To the OP: Is your 1000 directory a symbolic link, by any chance?  If it
is, try the "-follow" option.  For details, "info find".
