In fact every circuit I tested including the battery were at 93 milliamps. Any other suggestions?

I'm a bit confused.
The first test, with the ammeter connected between the negative battery cable and the negative post on the battery produced 93 milliamps, correct?
Then, with the alternator disconnected completely (all cables removed from the back of the alternator), the ammeter now continues to read 93 milliamps?
If so, then the alternator is not causing the leak.
One of the circuits is leaking more than it should. With the ammeter still in place, remove one fuse at a time until the ammeter goes to zero. Then advise what is on that circuit. It might even be that the clock is pulling more than it should. I once had this happen when the clock became old and was about to quit.
