Notts County head coach Ian Burchnall rued a catalogue of missed chances as the Magpies were held by promotion rivals Halifax at Meadow Lane.
In a thrilling contest, Notts fell behind when Aaron Martin beat the offside trap before rifling into an empty net after rounding goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros.
But Notts roared back and hit the post through Eli Sam before Jack Senior was sent off for a second bookable offence before the break.
