The time dependence of muon spin relaxation has been measured in high-purity aluminum and silver samples in a longitudinal 2 T magnetic field at room temperature, using the time-differential muon spin relaxation technique. For times greater than 10 ns, the shape fits well to a single exponential with relaxation rates of λ_Al=1.3±0.2 (stat.)±0.3 (syst.) ms^-1 and λ_Ag=1.0±0.2 (stat.)±0.2 (syst.) ms^-1.
