546 seeds from 1 sunflower!
From here:
When the seeds can be rubbed easily from the head, it's dry and the
seeds are ready to be roasted for eating. First, remove them from the
heads and pick out any pieces of stem or other debris.
Mix a quarter of a cup or so of plain salt to a quart of water, and soak the seeds in this overnight. Spread them on cookie sheets and roast in a very slow oven (150 to 200 degrees) until completely dry. Stir them once or twice during the drying time; this will take three or four hours. If you intend to store them for any length of time, put them in jars while still warm and close tightly. They keep very well in a cool dark place.

You counted them!? I stand corrected. :)
You know, there's got to be at least 30 out of frame

Nah! Just joshin'! As if anyone would count them just because you said there were 1000....sheesh!

Nothin' to be sorry about. It didn't take long - In a image editor I clicked a coloured dot onto each seed (changing colour every 100)
