Seems 100 is at the low end of costs.

X-rays typically are covered by health insurance. For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs typically consist of nothing, if the plan covers X-rays in full, or a copay of $10-$50 or coinsurance of about 10%-50%.
For patients without health insurance, X-rays typically cost about $100-$1,000 or more. On average, X-rays cost $260-$460, varying by provider and geographic location, according to NewChoiceHealth.com[1] . Actual X-ray cost depends on the provider, the part of the body being X-rayed, and the number of views taken. According to NewChoiceHealth.com, the average cost for a finger X-ray is $100, for a hand $180, for a wrist $190, for a knee $200, for a thigh $280, for a pelvis $350, for a chest $370, and for a full body $1,100.

Back in the 50s, many shoe stores had a fluoroscope you stuck your feet into to check shoe fit. I used to run in and play with it every chance I got (lucky my toes haven’t fallen off!).
Standard hardware store bolts of the same size pretty much likely all look the same at low KV X-ray intensity. If he favored a specific type (brass, alum., zinc, stainless, etc.), then high-KV comparison films would be required for positive ID. (save removal/inspection).
I’ll bet many rural vets haven’t bothered to upgrade their expensive X-ray systems to digital yet (?).
