it all depends on the dump I'd say. There are always bottle lines or layers in the big ash dumps, depending on how they dumped. In swampy flat areas the bottles seem to pile up around rocks and where trees had stood, as if they floated there. In hill dumps there are large clusters at the top and at the bottom. Dry flat areas they tended to dump in piles and the bottles piled up between the piles. No matter where you digging look for the use layer. The heavy ash will produce very few bottles while the use layers full of rust, dirt and other debris will also have more bottles. If your in ash dig down and in until you hit this layer. There may be many stacked up, use layer, ash, use layer, ash, use layer etc... There always tend to be one use layer that is loaded in there somewhere... Farm dumps are a trick of their own, but alway dig a little deeper in the dirt then where it seems to end...
Always make sure your layers are intact also, good white ash is a good sign that it is fresh while dark gray ash is sometimes a sign it's been dug. Also if your finding a lot of broken stuff but not all the pieces in the same place it's another sign it's been tossed before...
Good luck, hope you hit some beauty's!
