In article , DoN. Nichols says...

The main question is whether he can identify the ground clip on
the probe as described. Most Tektronix scope probes of relatively
recent vintage have a groove about half-way back from the tip to the
entrance point of the cable. A clip, sort of like a small version of a
hairpin clips into this to connect the ground clip to the scope probe's
ground.

For low-frequency use, sometimes the ground at the probe is best
omitted. On rare occasions the little ground clip has been known
to detach from the ground point (in high sproing factor installations)
and flip deftly through the air to land on the nearest high voltage
terminal point.

With predictably exciting results.

Not that *I've* ever done this. Ahem.
