Plymouth face a long trip to St James' Park in their FA Cup replay after holding Championship leaders Newcastle.
The Magpies made several changes and struggled early on with Plymouth's Rory Fallon having a header well saved by visiting goalkeeper Tim Krul.
Fabrice Pancrate then hit the post for Newcastle before the break, while Danny Guthrie's backheel went just wide.
And late on Nicky Butt saw his looping volley tipped over by Romain Larrieu as Plymouth held on.
Plymouth head coach Paul Mariner told BBC Radio Devon:
"They are a very tough side and I thought the boys did very well indeed. It was a very good team performance.
"A few weeks ago we might have got turned over in that match, but we didn't and we stuck together manfully and we're delighted with the team performance."
