Conductance is just the inverse of resistance, but would definitely be another mode on the meter. I have a Fluke 87 and it doesn't have it. Also, you'd need near-zero loss meter leads to accurately measure really small resistances (or large conductances). The .2 ohm coils was more than likely just your meter lead resistance. Short them together for a baseline value - it'll probably be about the same. An "open" from the wires to the case is good. At least you know there isn't a phase or two shorting to the can.
