How about the measurement across the wire segments. Any guesses?

If you can run the probe leads vertical in a manner where current will not be induced in them, then measuring the wire segments will produce about half the signal as when the leads circled the coil. Each segment is a winding on the transformer core and would each provide about half of a full loop current.

Would slipping a small Faraday cage (Like a can shaped one) over the coil stop it from influencing the probe wires?  It would seem to me this would be the easiest way if it works.
