> Wait.. if you've got two conductors it's neutral and hot. Neutral, as far as I know isn't connected to a literal metal post in the ground.
Neutral and ground are bonded together in the service entrance. The neutral is a center tap off the utility transformer and the ground is usually a ground rod.
In older houses the service entrance is typically the main panelboard. In a house built after 2020, the service entrance will be a disconnect switch after the meter socket.
