We present μSR experiments in the S=3/2 kagome bilayer compound Ba2Sn2ZnGa10−7pCr7pO22 (BSZCGO(p)) and compare it to the isostructural SrCr9pGa12−9pO19 (SCGO(p)), including for the latter new results for p≥0.89. Quantum-dynamical low energy magnetic excitations are evidenced in this novel compound. We study the evolution of the muon relaxation rate with p, T and field. A phenomenological model for the muon relaxation based on sporadic dynamics due to spin excitations in a singlet sea proposed by Uemura \emph{et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{73}, 3306 (1994)]. is extended to all fields and T-range. Its connexion to the RVB picture is discussed, and we argue that such coherent states might mediate the interactions between "impurities" which induce the spin glass freezing.
