The plug/socket resistance is unlikely to have changed that much. I'd worry if that was measured in ohms rather than fractions of an ohm though with dirty pins and contacts you can get poor readings. I'd reckon on ordinary day to day changes in soil wetness.

All the specialist earthing kit you ever wanted:
