I heard an interview with the police chief on NPR. He said that one reason they may have told the public was that it would be hard to pass the rare bills anywhere. Claiming that they dug them up was a reasonable story that spiralled out of control once the media got a hold of it.
The police chief also said that there was no way that those bills were buried just a foot or two underground in Massachusetts. They were in pristine condition. The weather would have destroyed them if they were buried in the manner described.
An odd side note: Apparently, one of the guys lied about his last name on NPR as well. He claimed that his name was Barry Villcliff and he actually said "V as in Victor." (His name is Barry Billcliff).
