I'd argue you can 'see' the wall if you place something on it, like:

  • your hand
  • your frontline's hand (or some other body part)
  • a ghost's hand
  • flour, dust, tar, enemies' blood, coughing syrup, and other things that could stick to the surface
  • gecko, spider, and other creatures that wouldn't fall off; probably also your familiar; dhampir and a high level monk should work, too

Technically it only refers to visible creatures. Objects doesnt have the adjective visible.

Unlikely, but a particularly bull headed person could read this as though detect magic could identify invisible objects.

I'm kinda surprised how vague many of the DnD rules are written.

Didn't they have a rules lawyer at hand when writing these?

That depends on interpretation of the sentence structure. It could mean "any visible [creatures and objects]" or "any [visible creatures] and objects".
