Here is the Object Type Initializer for Sections:

+0x060 TypeInfo         : _OBJECT_TYPE_INITIALIZER
      +0x000 Length           : 0x4c
      +0x002 UseDefaultObject : 0x1 ''
      +0x003 CaseInsensitive  : 0 ''
      +0x004 InvalidAttributes : 0x100
      +0x008 GenericMapping   : _GENERIC_MAPPING
         +0x000 GenericRead      : 0x20005
         +0x004 GenericWrite     : 0x20002
         +0x008 GenericExecute   : 0x20008
         +0x00c GenericAll       : 0xf001f
      +0x018 ValidAccessMask  : 0x1f001f
      +0x01c SecurityRequired : 0 ''
      +0x01d MaintainHandleCount : 0 ''
      +0x01e MaintainTypeList : 0 ''
      +0x020 PoolType         : 1 ( PagedPool ) <=========
      +0x024 DefaultPagedPoolCharge : 0x58 <=========

So the objects are in the Paged Pool.
