It is known that $G$ is an orderable group. Let $k(G)$ denote the subdivision ring of the Malcev-Neumann series ring generated by the group algebra of $G$ over $k$. If $\\ast$ is an involution on $G$, then it extends to a unique $k$-involution on $k(G)$. We show that $k(G)$ contains pairs of symmetric elements with respect to $\\ast$ which generate a free group inside the multiplicative group of $k(G)$. Free unitary pairs also exist if $G$ is torsion-free nilpotent.
