Item 1.   Security and Issuer.
     This  Schedule  13D  relates  to  the Common Stock, $0.00001 par
value  per  share,  of  American Resources of Delaware, Inc. ( ARD ).
The address of ARD s principal executive office is 160 Morgan Street,
Versailles, Kentucky  40383.

Item 2.   Identity and Background.

     This Schedule 13D is being filed by TECO Oil & Gas, Inc. ( TOG )
and  TECO  Energy,  Inc.  (  TECO  ),  each  of  which  is  a Florida
corporation.  TECO directly owns 100% of the capital stock of TOG.  A
joint  statement  on  Schedule  13D  is  being  filed by TOG and TECO
because  TECO  may be deemed to beneficially own capital stock of ARD
stock  beneficially owned by TOG by virtue of TECO s ownership of the
capital stock of TOG.  The principal business and office addresses of
TOG  and  TECO  are 702 North Franklin Street, Tampa, Florida  33602.
TOG   previously  engaged  in  the  exploration  and  development  of
conventional  gas  and  oil but substantially discontinued operations
during 1998. TECO is an electric and gas utility holding company with
important diversified activities.

     The name, principal occupation, business address and citizenship
of  each  of the executive officers and directors of TOG and TECO are
set forth on Schedule I hereto.

     During  the  last  five  years  neither TOG nor TECO, nor any of
their  executive  officers or directors, have been (i) convicted in a
c r i minal  proceeding  (excluding  traffic  violations  or  similar
misdemeanors) nor (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative  body  of  competent  jurisdiction that resulted in or
subjected  TOG or TECO to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future  violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to,  federal  or  state securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     As  more  fully described in Item 4 below, pursuant to the terms
of  the  Warrant (as defined below), TOG possesses the right, subject
to  certain  conditions  precedent,  to purchase shares of ARD Common
Stock.   To date, TOG has not exercised any rights under the Warrant.
In  the  event that TOG does exercise any rights under the Warrant to
purchase shares of ARD Common Stock, it expects to fund such purchase
with working capital.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
     On  March  5,  1998,  a wholly owned subsidiary of ARD purchased
certain  offshore assets of TOG.  A portion of the consideration paid
for  such  assets  consisted  of  a  promissory note in the amount of
$18,500,000  issued  by  ARD  in favor of TOG (the  Note ).  The Note
bore   interest  at  an  initial  rate  of  ten  percent  per  annum.
Commencing  July  1, 1998, subject to limitations imposed by law, the
interest  rate  increased,  and  will  continue  to  increase, by two
hundred basis points each quarter up to a maximum interest rate of 18
percent. The Note matured on October 1, 1998 and is secured by a lien
on all properties of ARD and its subsidiaries.<PAGE>





   CUSIP No. 02926 U 30 8        13D               Page 5 of 11 pages

     As  an inducement to TOG to accept the Note, ARD and TOG entered
into  a  warrant  agreement  (the  Warrant Agreement ) granting TOG a
common stock purchase warrant (the  Warrant ).  A copy of each of the
Warrant  Agreement  and  the  Warrant  are  filed as Exhibits 2 and 3
hereto,  respectively, and are by this reference incorporated herein.
Because  the  Note was not paid in full on or before October 1, 1998,
TOG has the right under the Warrant to purchase 600,000 shares of ARD
Common  Stock  at  a price per share of $2.67.  Additionally, TOG has
the  right  under  the  Warrant  to purchase, at a price per share of
$0.0001,  shares  of ARD Common Stock equal to (i) ten percent of the
shares  of ARD Common Stock outstanding on the date of exercise, (ii)
an  additional  five  percent  of  the  shares  of  ARD  Common Stock
outstanding  on  the  date  of  exercise,  if the Note is not paid by
January 1, 1999 and (iii) an additional five percent of the shares of
ARD  Common Stock outstanding on the date of exercise, if the Note is
not paid by April 1, 1999.  The Warrant expires on July 1, 1999.

     Because  of  its default on the Note, ARD is obligated under the
Warrant  Agreement  to increase the number of members of its board of
directors  by  two, and TOG has the right to designate individuals to
fill  such  positions.    Under  the  Warrant Agreement, ARD has also
agreed, while the Note remains unpaid, to take all actions within its
control  to maintain such individuals as directors of ARD.  As of the
date  of  this  Schedule  13D,  TOG  has  not  exercised its right to
designate  two  directors  of  ARD,  but reserves its right to do so.
Except  as  set  forth  herein,  neither TOG nor TECO has any present
plans,  arrangements or understandings that relate to or would result
in: 

     (i)     the  acquisition  by any person of additional securities
of ARD, or the disposition of securities of ARD;

     (ii)    an   extraordinary  corporate  transaction,  such  as  a
merger,  reorganization  or  liquidation, involving ARD or any of its
subsidiaries;

     (iii)   a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of ARD
or of any of its subsidiaries;

     (iv)    any   change  in  the  present  board  of  directors  or
management  of  ARD,  including  any plans or proposals to change the
number  or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the
board;
     (v)     an  material  change  in  the  present capitalization or
dividend policy of ARD;

     (vi)    any other material change in ARD s business or corporate
structure,  including  but  not  limited  to,  if ARD is a registered
closed-end  investment  company,  any  plans or proposals to make any
changes  in  its  investment  policy  for which a vote is required by
Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;

     (vii)   c h anges  in  ARD  s  charter,  bylaws  or  instruments
c o rresponding  thereto  or  other  actions  which  may  impede  the
acquisition of control of ARD by any person;<PAGE>





   CUSIP No. 02926 U 30 8        13D               Page 6 of 11 pages

     (viii)  causing a class of securities of ARD to be delisted from
a  national  securities  exchange  or to cease to be authorized to be
quoted  in  an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national
securities association;
     (ix)    a  class  of  equity securities of ARD becoming eligible
for  termination  of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended; or

     (x)     any action similar to any of those enumerated above.


     TOG  and  TECO  expect  to  evaluate on a continuing basis their
goals and objectives, other business opportunities available to them,
and  general  economic and equity market conditions, as well as ARD s
business  operations  and  prospects. Based on such evaluations, from
time  to  time  in the future, TOG may determine to exercise all or a
portion  of  the  Warrant.  Either TOG or TECO may acquire additional
shares of ARD capital stock, and TOG may dispose of any shares of ARD
Common  Stock  issued to TOG upon exercise of the Warrant in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions at varying prices.
Item 5.   Interest in Securities of Issuer.

     (a)  TOG beneficially owns approximately 1,624,263 shares of ARD
Common  Stock,  consisting  entirely  of  shares  issuable  under the
Warrant described in Item 4. The Warrant is currently exercisable for
(i) 600,000 shares, plus (ii) ten percent of the shares of ARD Common
Stock   outstanding  on  the  date  of  exercise.    Currently,  such
additional  ten  percent equals approximately 1,024,263 shares, based
on 10,242,632 shares of ARD Common Stock outstanding on June 30, 1998
as  reported  in  ARD s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended  June 30, 1998.  The aggregate total of 1,624,263 shares of ARD
Common  Stock  beneficially  owned  by  TOG  represents  13.7% of the
10,242,632  shares  of ARD Common Stock outstanding on June 30, 1998,
computed  in  accordance  with  Rule  13d-3 of the Act.  TECO may, by
virtue  of  its  ownership  of the capital stock of TOG, be deemed to
beneficially own the shares of ARD Common Stock beneficially owned by
the TOG.
     (b)  In  the event TOG were to purchase any shares of ARD Common
Stock  covered  by  the  Warrant,  TOG  would  have  sole  voting and
investment power over such shares. 

     (c)  Neither  TOG  nor TECO, nor to the best of their knowledge,
any  of  the individuals named in Schedule I hereto, has effected any
transaction in ARD Common Stock during the past 60 days.

     (d)  Neither  TOG  nor TECO, nor to the best of their knowledge,
any  of  the  individuals named on Schedule I attached hereto, has or
knows  any  other person who has the right to receive or the power to
direct  the  receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale
of, any shares of ARD Common Stock beneficially owned by TOG.
     (e)  Not applicable.

Item 6.   Contracts,  Arrangements,  Understandings  or Relationships
          With Respect to Securities of Issuer.<PAGE>





   CUSIP No. 02926 U 30 8        13D               Page 7 of 11 pages

     T h e   Warrant   Agreement   provides   that,   under   certain
circumstances,  ARD  will  file a registration statement covering the
Warrant  and/or  any  of the shares of ARD Common Stock issuable upon
its  exercise  and  use  its  best efforts to cause such registration
statement  to  become  effective  and  remain effective for up to 180
days.    Additionally,  TOG  has  certain    piggy-back  registration
rights.    There  are  no  contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships  among  the  persons  named  in  Item 2 or between such
persons and any other person with respect to the Common Stock of ARD,
other than as referred to herein.

Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

the  registered  holder  hereof  or  registered assigns (the "Warrant
Holder"), is the owner of the Warrant set forth above, which entitles
the  owner  thereof to purchase certain percentages of the authorized
and  outstanding  shares  of  the  Common  Stock  as set forth in the
Warrant  Agreement, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"),
of  American  Resources of Delaware, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), at the purchase price of $0.0001 per share (the "Exercise
P r ice"),  and  an  additional  600,000  shares  of  authorized  and
outstanding shares of Common Stock of American Resources of Delaware,
Inc.  a  Delaware  corporation,  at the purchase price of $2.67  (the
"Additional  ARI  Shares"  and  together with the Exercise Price, the
"Purchase  Price"), subject to adjustment as described in the Warrant
Agreement  referred  to  below  on  such dates and in such amounts as
described  in  the Warrant Agreement.  The Warrant Holder may pay the
Purchase Price in cash, or by certified or official bank check. 

     This  Warrant  Certificate  is  subject  to, and entitled to the
benefits  of,  all  of  the  terms,  provisions  and conditions of an
agreement  dated  March 5, 1998 (the "Warrant Agreement") between the
Company  and  TECO Oil & Gas, Inc., which Warrant Agreement is hereby
incorporated  herein by reference and made a part hereof and to which
Warrant  Agreement reference is hereby made for a full description of
the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
hereunder  of  the  Company  and  the  Warrant Holder.  Copies of the
Warrant Agreement are on file at the principal office of the Company.<PAGE>





     The  Warrant Holder hereof may be treated by the Company and all
other  persons  dealing with this Warrant Certificate as the absolute
owner  hereof  for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise
the rights represented hereby, or to the transfer hereof on the books
of the Company, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding, and until
such transfer on such books, the Company may treat the Warrant Holder
hereof as the owner for all purposes.

     The  Warrant Certificate, upon surrender at the principal office
of  the  Company, may be exchanged for another Warrant Certificate of
like tenor and date evidencing a Warrant entitling the Warrant Holder
to  purchase a like aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as the
Warrant  evidenced by the Warrant Certificate surrendered entitled to
such  Warrant  Holder to purchase.  If this Warrant Certificate shall
be exercised in part, the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive
upon  surrender  hereof,  another  Warrant Certificate evidencing the
portion of the Warrant not exercised.

     No  fractional  shares  of  Common Stock will be issued upon the
exercise  of the Warrant evidenced hereby, but in lieu thereof a cash
payment will be made, as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

     Neither  the  Warrant  nor  the Warrant Certificate entitles the
Warrant  Holder  hereof  to any of the rights of a stockholder of the
Company except as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

     This  Warrant  shall  be  deemed to be a contract made under and
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the
State  of  Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts
of   law,  and,  with  respect  to  usury,  the  laws  of  any  other
jurisdiction  whose laws may be applicable pursuant to the provisions
of Title 12, Section 85 of the United States Code.<PAGE>
