I wouldn't count on it. A real ground has a long copper rod driven in to provide a low-resistance attachment to the earth. The concrete is a good insulator, and unless the pole extends a considerable

If you do want to attempt something like this, disconnect the neutral side; connect the neutral from the fixture to the pole, and then put an AC voltmeter between the neutral from the fixture and th
