A drainage system and method for post burial detection thereof according to the present invention comprises a corrugated drain tile with a tracer wire to facilitate detection of the drainage tile when buried. The drain tile defines a drain tile body, a first end, a second end, a longitudinal length extending from the first end to the second end, an inner surface and an outer surface. The tracer wire is preferably affixed to the drain tile during or post manufacture of the drain tile and is composed of a conductive material such as copper, steel, or stainless steel. The tracer wire extends along the longitudinal length of the drain tile, along the outer surface, or the inner surface, and is at no point embedded within the drain tile body.
