I was just confirming my guess :)

The data in the binary file was written in a variable-length fashion.
Although each chuck has a specific starting indication like
\x00\x00\@\x00$\x00\x02
the amount of the in each section varies depends on what was in the written
stream.

How your find suggestion work? It just returns the location of the first
occurrence.
