  The Mt. Suhora M\,dwarf survey searching for pulsations in low mass main
sequence stars has acquired CCD photometry of 46 M\,dwarf stars during the
first year of the project (Baran et al 2011). As a by-product of this search
hundreds field stars have been checked for variability. This paper presents our
initial result of a search for periodic variables in field stars observed in
the course of the survey. On the basis of the periodicity and the shape of the
light curves, eight new variables has been detected, among which five are
$\delta$ Scuti stars and three likely RR Lyrae stars. Although variation in one
of the stars has been previously detected, it was classified incorrectly. To
support our classification, in August 2010, we performed spectroscopic
observations to derive spectral types and luminosity classes for all eight
variable stars.
