Can we talk about how I picked the sifter over the trowel at a dig in Tucson and lost the whole find?

We were down 60cm at a site outside Tucson and I had to choose between sifting the screen or troweling the wall. I picked the screen, and a grad student pulled a shell bead out of the wall ten minutes later. Should I have just stayed on the wall?
