In my opinion, you should try building a conventional coil first as you
posed the question regarding construction plans for one.
Once you have the experience in building a conventional coil and learning
how it operates and how to work and tune with it,
then you could try for a more "advanced" coil.  I say more "advaned" in that
there is far less information about the below coils
on the web and they're a bit more finicky.  Better stay with a very easy
design first.

Check my page for some designs:
