good to get out.

some of them may be river rocks, water worn. Not relics.

others may be.

For me its hard to tell from the photograph.

Good your looking. Just rocks.

Looks like you are in an area where all they had to work with is quartzite, in this photo top line 2nd from right looks like the base of a perform that was being made into a blade. some of the other pieces have flaking scars on them where they did not work out.

Top row #4 from left looks like it is ,
bottom row #2,3 from left are maybes

Welcome to the forum! I search a creek on my property and find similar and I almost always bring them back. Have you found anything else in the creek such as pottery shards or projectile points? Keep hunting though because if it's like my creek you will find some awesome stuff in it.

See pages 159-172, "Quartzite Bowlder quarries, District of Columbia" in this book and compare to what you are finding:
