She is so ugly! Needs shock treatment!

I finally found and old coin here in Japan. I recognize the coin, and even have an idea on the age, but as usual, this soil screws up all the coins! I had to go down to the hardware shop and buy a battery charger so i can try electrolysis on her. She is copper.
A standard battery charger that would normally cost 50 or 60 bucks in the states was 300 dollars here!
I bought the bottom end, hope it works.
Also, i don't have any access to "soda detergent", so i will just use baking soda.
Im including a picture of the coin as well as an interesting button that i found.
Any advise on my first go at electrolosis would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you all in advance.
By the way these came from an OLD park nearby with big trees. both were found at about 6-7 inches.
I am so happy to find something other than a pull tab as spring approaches. I'm hyped!

post everything, there are a lot of different people on TNET, that look at all kinds of things.
just finding something like that is awesome. you gotta think, when was the last time someone touched it or wrote in it. who was the owner? is she still alive? where does she live?

hummm if she's not married -- and you are single might be fun to check up on her ( you could have lots of fun ) since you now know her deepest darkest secerts -- and can "read" her like a book ---(of course you don't tell her you found her book -- thus you have a deep insight into her mind-- without her knowing it)
