Metal detecting is ilegal in most parts of the world. Coin in the middle is large bronze of Domitian. I dont know size so i cant tell is it as, dupondius or sestertius... First one looks like provincial. Like mackaydon said, you need to upload pictures of both sides.

Both coins look as if they have come from a wet enviroment, not a dry one.

As i know temperatures in deserts are extreme and from +50C on day to -50C on night. Also weather can vary from extremely dry to extremely wet That could be the reason for strange oxidation.

Looks like you mixed obv and rev on some coins... 
Coin 2 is Comodus sestertius? i think, coin 3 Constantine family with camp gate on rev... hard to say which ruler. First picture on coin 4 obv and first pic on coin 5 is rev i think- Domitian As, and last one is provincial i think, cant say nothing else...
