Electrons will move down through the earphones and up through the
diode.

If in parallel. And what will be in series?

Nothing

"I put up a 200 foot antenna between two trees over my house, and tuned
to a 50,000 watt station about 30 miles away, and now I get 175
microamps of current through my meter."

It is almost nothing but more than zero.

You should put the meter in series with the diode or the earphone, not
in series with the antenna or the earth.

In the diode and in the earphones you have direct current that the meter
will measure, in the connection to the antenna and the earth, you have
radio frequencies that the meter will not measure correctly.
