I left out one important note. The wire that came off my outlet went to the first ground rod then in an uninterrupted run to the second ground rod. The wire was continuous.
The safety equipment grounding conductor that is part of the dedicated branch circuit wiring must be connected directly to the wall duplex receptacle.You can pigtail the safety equipment grounding conductor so as to connect your Aux ground rod wire to the safety equipment grounding conductor but the pigtail from the jointed connection must connect directly to the ground terminal on the duplex receptacle. Is that what you have?
