Lick it then get back to us.
Not sure what you are measuring, but it looks fine to me.

To test your ground, you would want to go ground to ground. In terms of ground fault, unless it is a GFCI outlet, you won't have protection.
Well, ground is ground. So if you are measuring from ground to ground, the potential should be zero. You would also need to be measuring resistance, not voltage.
The easiest would be to test to separate outlets. The best way to check it though, would be to go from the suspect outlet, to the main ground connection. If you know how the wiring is laid out in your house, you could go outlet to outlet until you reach the main grounding point.

I know my main grounding point.. it's at the water main.. there's a shunt from the breakerbox to that main pipe
So ur saying.. I want to measure, "resistance" from my suspect outlet, TO the water pipe in the basement?

Yup. You could do it at the shunt as well. As long as there is ~0 Ω, then the ground is good.

Thx for the nfo GhostJug..
