Indesign CS5.5 can't select objects, they don't show in layers panel either

I received an .indd file from a client. There are certain objects that I can't select. I know they aren't locked because I can't select "Unlock all on spread." The weird thing is, the objects don't show up in the layer panel. If I uncheck the layer's eye, they disappear. But if I uncheck the eyes of all the individual objects within the layer, the objects I can't select are still visible. I'm attaching a screenshot. Can someone help please?

    The items are on a mster page.

    In the Pages Panel, go to the master associated with the page you're on, there you'll find the things you're after.

      Haha, I'm an idiot. You're right. I could only see the A-Master page and didn't think to scroll down. Thanks!
