I would say you have a very good find. I don't know what it's called but It all looks polishable.

You probably have a lot of Savannah River Agate there, the one in the second picture sure looks like what I've seen recently. It's actually not agate but chert, not that it matters, it should polish beautifully. Good job on collecting, looks like some very nice stuff.
