Methinks a septic tank/cesspool would make a crappy ground system...

Question: This is an odd one. I am on a septic system, I wonder if anyone
has ever thought of dropping a ground into the septic tank (bronze would
probably be best). It is always wet and is 10x10x6 so the ground surface
area would be 340 square feet of surface area (not counting the top) for a
ground (damp concrete is a good conductor). I may try to drop an element
into there and hook the Megger to it to see what happens.

When I get around to that experiment I will share the data.
