Nitre can be obtained "naturally" in 2 diffeent ways. It has been referred to as "Privy gold boiled down" and "dung-hill gems".
Method 1 is to boil down urine until you get a white crusty flake (according to legend, urine from wine drinkers is best)
Method 2 is to scrape the white flakes and crystals from dried excrement (usually from cows).
My personal recommendation is to obtain it from a chemical; supply store. Go in person and let them know you are only after a small amount (ounce or so) for a display, and they may just give you what you need for free.
