I believe you have a Licinius Roman coin (308-324AD).

Obverse Legend: IMP LICINIVS AVG
Obverse: Laureate curiassed bust left

Reverse Legend: IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG
Reverse: Jupiter standing left holding Victory, wreath

Here is another Licinius coin for reference.

Silver_searcher,

I agree that the coin pic was not the exact match. It was there for reference and to show the similar legend.

Spot on with the legends.
Just need to pin down the mint in ex.
Palm leaf in field with 'N' or 'Z'-

Mint looks like SMN - Nicomedia (Turkey) (which SS posted)

Its called a AE3 ( Should be circa 18-19mm)

The rest you already have

Thanks, for all the help and discussion. I am not a coin collector and thought this was an unusual coin to find out here in the desert.

It is unusual, but not unheard of, quite a few members have found Roman Coins in the US. They are all like yours, collector grade pieces lost fairly recently
