As per your schematic there are TWO windings so four wires. And as I mentioned, you MUST connect them with the correct 'phase' (i.e. the end of one connects to the start of the other).
i.e. START - wind around 80-100 turns on the ferrite - END : START - wind two turns on the ferrite - END.
Wind the wire over a thin card sleeve wrapped around the ferrite - this allows you to slide the completed coil up/down the length of the rod for best sensitivity.
