Polarized ${}_{}{}^8{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ nuclei recoiling from the reaction ${}_{}{}^7{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}(d, p){}_{}{}^8{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ were implanted in Au, Pd, and Pt foils, and the Knight-shifted values of the ${}_{}{}^8{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ magnetic dipole moment in these metals were measured by a resonant depolarization technique. From measurements of the spinlattice relaxation times of ${}_{}{}^8{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ implanted in Au, Pd, and Pt, the Knight shifts of ${}_{}{}^8{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ in these metals were estimated. A corrected value for the magnetic dipole moment of ${}_{}{}^8{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ was found to be $\mu \left({}_{}{}^8{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}\right)=(1.653\mathrm{}35\pm 0.00035){\mu }_N$. Attempts were also made to measure the quadrupole couplings of ${}_{}{}^8{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$ in single crystals of Be and Mg. While the resonance lines could not be distinctly resolved, upper and lower limits have been deduced for $\left|\frac{e^2\mathrm{qQ}}{h}\right|$ in these two metals.
