     ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER.
     ------    -------------------

               The title of the class of equity securities to which this
     Schedule 13D relates is common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"),
     of Gulf Exploration Consultants, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GEC"),
     whose principal office in located at 10 Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 1012, New
     York, New York, 10020.

     ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
     ------    -----------------------

               This Schedule 13D is being filed by Osprey Investments, Inc.,
     formerly known as DRM&S, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Osprey").  Osprey is
     in the private investment business.  The capital stock of Osprey is held by
     Bruce Smathers, who is the sole director of Osprey, its President and
     Treasurer, and Daniel Murphy.  Mr. Smathers' principal occupation is an
     attorney in the State of Florida.  Mr. Murphy is principally engaged in the
     financial consulting business.  The address of Osprey's principal business
     is One Independent Drive, Suite 2201, Jacksonville, Florida 32202.

               During the last five years neither Osprey nor its officers,
     directors nor any person controlling Osprey has been convicted in a
     criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

               During the last five years neither Osprey nor its officers,
     directors nor any person controlling Osprey has been a party to a civil
     proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction
     and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject 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.
     ------    -------------------------------------------------

               Effective July 10, 1996, pursuant to a Letter Agreement, dated
     December 22, 1995 (the "Letter Agreement"), among GEC, Minmet plc, Osprey
     and Dennis Mensch ("Mensch"), Osprey exchanged a GEC note, dated March
     1995, in the principal amount of $100,000 (the "Note") plus accrued
     interest, for 438,040 shares of GEC Common Stock.  Osprey's working capital
     was used to acquire the Note.

     ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
     ------    ----------------------

               Osprey has been informed that on June 17, 1996, after obtaining
     approval of its stockholders, GEC disposed of its interest in an operating
     subsidiary, ceased all business activity, effected a 1-for-50 reverse split
     of its Common Stock, reduced the authorized Common Stock to 10,000,000
     shares, and authorized the restructuring of its outstanding loans as
     provided for in the Letter Agreement.  Effective July 8, 1996, pursuant to
     the Letter Agreement, Mensch exchanged his Note, dated February 21, 1995,
     in the principal amount of $100,000, plus accrued interest, for 438,040
     shares of GEC Common Stock.

               Management of GEC is seeking new business opportunities for GEC
     and ultimately to cause GEC, subject to stockholder approval, to serve as a
     vehicle to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock or other business
     combination with an operating company.  The location and industry of such
     company have not been determined and GEC has not entered into negotiations
     with any other party regarding such a business combination.

               Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Osprey is loaning $15,866 to
     GEC to cover certain outstanding professional fees owed by GEC and $5,000
     for working capital purposes, of which $10,000 is presently being loaned
     and the balance of $10,866 would be advanced in five monthly installments
     commencing August 1, 1996, and will loan GEC an additional $5,000 as
     required in the future.  GEC's repayment obligations to Osprey is evidenced
     by a Promissory Note due July 1997 in the principal amount of the aggregate
     of all amounts borrowed by GEC plus interest at 7%, and subject to
     mandatory prepayment upon the closing of a transaction referred to in the
     immediately preceding paragraph.

               None of the shares of GEC Common Stock held by Osprey are held as
     a member of a group and Osprey disclaims membership in any group.

               Except to the extent described above, Osprey has no plans or
     proposals which relate to or would result in a transaction specified in
     paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 to Schedule 13D.

     ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
     ------    ------------------------------------

                (a) Effective July 10, 1996, Osprey became the beneficial owner
     of 438,040 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") upon the exchange of the
     Note, plus accrued interest, pursuant to the Letter Agreement.

               (b)  Osprey possesses the sole power to vote and dispose of the
     Shares.

               (c)  Osprey has not effected transactions in shares of GEC Common
     Stock during the sixty days prior to July 10, 1996 except for the
     acquisition of the Shares upon the exchange of the Note.

               (d)  No person is known to have the right to receive or the power
     to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of
     the Shares acquired by Osprey.

               (e)  Not applicable.

     ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDING OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
     ------    ------------------------------------------------------------

           Mr. Dennis Mensch
           300 East 75th Street
           Apt 29N
           New York, N.Y.  10021

           Gentlemen:

                     This letter sets forth the terms of the understanding
           among Minmet plc, a Republic of Ireland corporation ("Minmet"),
           Gulf Exploration Consultants, Inc., a Delaware corporation
           ("GEC"), DRM&S Inc. ("DRM&S") and Dennis Mensch ("Mensch")
           regarding the payment of certain outstanding liabilities and
           future expenses of GEC and certain other related matters in
           connection with the proposed transaction by Micron Limited
           ("Micron") involving Emerging Money Limited, a Republic of
           Ireland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of GEC ("EML"),
           and other transactions which would result in the
           recapitalization of GEC (the "Recapitalization").

                     1.   At November 15, 1995, GEC had outstanding
           liabilities for legal and accounting services totalling
           $42,536.82, excluding amounts owed to DRM&S and Mensch under
           their respective GEC notes (the "Notes") and to Minmet.  Minmet
           shall assume 25.4% of such liabilities of GEC or $10,804, and
           DRM&S and Mensch shall upon the Recapitalization lend to GEC
           such funds as necessary to pay 74.6% of the total liabilities
           of GEC or $31,732 (including the $21,743 owed to Reid & Priest
           LLP).  To Minmet's knowledge, GEC had no other liabilities at
           that date nor has GEC incurred any liabilities since such date
           other than for legal services.  Except for the expenses
           specified in Paragraph 2 below, Minmet will not cause GEC to
           incur any liabilities or commitments for or on behalf of GEC
           without the prior written authorization of DRM&S and Mensch. 
           All GEC obligations to Minmet will be cancelled as part of the
           Recapitalization.

                     2.   Minmet shall bear all expenses to be incurred by
           GEC in connection with (i) GEC's quarterly report on Form 10-Q
           for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1995, (ii) a proxy
           statement and related corporate documents for a Special Meeting
           of GEC Stockholders (the "Meeting") to vote on certain
           proposals related to the Recapitalization, (iii) the printing
           and mailing of such proxy statement to GEC stockholders, (iv)
           the negotiation of agreements with Micron and EML (v) the
           retention of a person or firm to render a fairness opinion and
           (vi) all related legal, accounting and other related fees.  In
           the event the Recapitalization is not consummated prior to
           March 1, 1996, Minmet shall bear the expenses incurred by GEC
           in connection with the preparation and filing of the GEC Form
           10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995.  Minmet
           shall also be responsible for the payment of any amounts which
           may be owed by GEC to Debra Giles.

                     3.   Upon the completion of the Recapitalization, (i)
           DRM&S and Mensch would exchange their Notes for GEC Common
           Stock for which each of them would receive 22% of the GEC
           shares then to be outstanding, (ii) GEC would transfer its EML
           shares to Minmet in exchange for GEC Common Stock presently
           owned by Minmet which would reduce Minmet's holding of GEC
           Common Stock to 15% of shares then to be outstanding (subject
           to adjustment if the valuations of the EML shares would exceed
           the valuation of the GEC shares to be exchanged), (iii) the
           existing public stockholders of GEC would own the balance of
           the outstanding GEC shares and (iv) GEC would have no interest
           in EML nor any obligation for any liabilities of EML.  GEC
           represents to each of DRM&S and Mensch that GEC has no
           agreements or plans to issue any shares of its capital stock
           whether pursuant to the Recapitalization or otherwise and has
           no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire GEC
           capital stock nor will any such options, warrants or other
           rights be granted, except to the extent set forth in the
           preceding sentence.  

                     4.  After the Recapitalization, GEC would use its
           best efforts to seek to find a new business opportunity for
           GEC.  It is understood that the extent of the non-competition
           provision covering GEC under the Micron Agreement is as set
           forth in a letter, dated December 20, 1995, from Micron to GEC,
           and a letter, dated December 22, 1995, from Harris Freedman to
           GEC, copies of which is attached hereto.             

                     5.  Minmet shall indemnify and hold harmless each of
           GEC, DRM&S and Mensch from and against any loss, liability,
           claim or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
           disbursements) (collectively, the "claim") suffered or incurred
           by GEC, DRM&S or Mensch which respect to matters occurred or
           occurring during the period commencing on December 4, 1994 and
           ending upon the consummation of the Recapitalization (the
           "Indemnification Period") based upon or arising from any
           actions or failures to act by GEC and/or Minmet during the
           Indemnification Period (including, but not limited to, those
           related to the Recapitalization), excluding any claim resulting
           from the gross negligence or willful misconduct by DRM&S or
           Mensch, notwithstanding that the claim is made or instituted
           after the Indemnification Period.

                     6.  Minmet, DRM&S and Mensch acknowledge that Reid &
           Priest LLP shall be acting as United States securities counsel
           for GEC and each of them for purposes of the Recapitalization,
           and they have no objection to the retention of such firm by the
           other or for GEC.  Pursuant to Paragraph 2 above, Minmet shall
           be responsible for the fees and expenses of Reid & Priest LLP
           for services rendered on their behalf related to the
           Recapitalization, other than for matters solely for the benefit
           of DRM&S or Mensch for which they shall be responsible.

                     7.  Until the Recapitalization is consummated DRM&S
           and Mensch shall remain creditors of GEC under their Notes and
           Minmet shall remain the majority stockholder of GEC.  If the
           Recapitalization is not consummated, Minmet will reimburse
           DRM&S and Mensch for all payments made by each of them pursuant
           to Paragraph 1 above.  As neither DRM&S or Mensch is a party to
           the Micron transaction nor has any contractual right with
           respect to such transaction, it is not necessary for GEC to
           obtain the consent of DRM&S or Mensch to the Micron
           transaction.

                     8.   This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
           the State of New York.

                     9.   This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
           between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter

           One Independent Drive
           Suite 2201
           Jacksonville, Florida  32202
           Attn:  Bruce Smathers, President

           Gentlemen:

                     This letter sets forth the terms of the understanding
           between Gulf Exploration Consultants, Inc., a Delaware
           corporation ("GEC"), and Osprey Investments, Inc. ("Osprey")
           regarding certain loans made and to be made by Osprey to GEC,
           the proceeds of the new loans to be used by GEC for the payment
           of certain of its outstanding legal and accounting fees and for
           working capital.

                     1.   Pursuant to Paragraph 1 of a Letter Agreement,
           dated as of December 22, 1995 (the "Letter Agreement"), among
           GEC, Osprey, Dennis Mensch and Minmet plc, a republic of
           Ireland corporation, Osprey agreed to lend to GEC one-half of
           the funds as necessary to pay 74.6% of the total accounting and
           legal fees of GEC existing at November 15, 1995 or $31,732 upon
           the consummation of a Recapitalization (as defined in the
           Letter Agreement).  The Recapitalization became effective on
           June 17, 1996.

                     2.   In order to fulfill its obligations under the
           Letter Agreement, Osprey is loaning GEC $15,866 on the
           following terms: (i) $5,000 upon the execution of this letter
           agreement, and (ii) the remaining $10,866 in five monthly
           installments of $2,173.20 payable on the first day of each
           month commencing with the first payment on August 1, 1996 and
           ending with the last payment on December 1, 1996.  All amounts
           loaned to GEC pursuant to this paragraph shall become due and
           payable by GEC on July 1, 1997, together with interest on the
           outstanding principal amount at the rate of 7% per annum
           provided, however, that GEC shall prepay all amounts advanced
           to it immediately upon the acquisition by any person through a
           business combination or otherwise of a controlling interest in
           GEC, all as set forth in the new note (the "Note") attached
           hereto.

                     3.   In order to provide GEC with a portion of its
           working capital sufficient to fund GEC until an appropriate
           business opportunity is found and a business combination
           related thereto is effected, Osprey agrees to lend GEC an
           additional $10,000 on the following terms:  (i) $5,000 upon
           execution of this letter agreement, and (ii) any and all of the
           balance as requested by the Board of Directors of GEC.  All
           amounts loaned pursuant to this paragraph shall be added to the
           principal amount of the Note.  If GEC thereafter requires
           additional funds for working capital purposes, Osprey may loan
           such additional funds to GEC to the extent that Osprey and GEC
           agree to such additional loans.   

                     4.   GEC acknowledges receiving from Osprey the
           return of the GEC promissory note, dated February 21, 1995, in
           the principal amount of $100,000 (the "Original Note").  GEC
           agrees to promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue to
           Osprey a certificate for 438,040 shares (the "Shares") of GEC
           Common Stock, as provided for in the Letter Agreement in
           exchange for the Original Note.

                     5.   GEC represents that there is no proceeding
           pending or, to the knowledge of GEC, threatened against GEC,
           which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse
           effect on GEC's ability to perform its obligations hereunder or
           under the Note.

                     6.   Osprey acknowledges that the Shares have not
           been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
           and that the certificates for the Shares will contain
           restrictive legends and stop orders against the Shares
           referring to the restrictions on sale or transfer thereof under
           such Act.  Osprey represents that it is aware of the current
           operations, prospects and financial condition of GEC as
           described in GEC's Proxy Statement, dated June 6, 1996, Annual
           Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
           Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
           1996.

                     7.   Osprey acknowledges that GEC has not taken the
           actions described under the captions "Convertibility of
           Preferred Stock," "Issuance of Preferred," "The
           Recapitalization," and "The Placement" of the Term Sheet
           delivered to Osprey on or before Osprey's acquisition of the
           Original Note (the "Term Sheet").  In consideration of the
           issuance to Osprey of the Shares, Osprey hereby waives any
           claims or demands that it may have against GEC, its officers,
           directors, employees, agents and representatives with respect
           to any rights to Preferred Stock of GEC that it may have had
           under its subscription for the Original Note or the Term Sheet.

                     8.   This letter agreement shall be governed by the
           laws of the State of New York.

                     9.   This letter agreement constitutes the entire
           agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
           subject matter hereof, superseding all prior written or oral
           agreements, and cannot be amended, modified or terminated
           except pursuant to a writing executed by the parties hereto.  

                     10.  This letter agreement may be executed in
           multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
           original, and all of which together shall constitute one and
           the same document.

                     Please confirm that this letter correctly sets forth
           our agreement with respect to the matters stated herein by
           signing, dating and returning this letter to us.

                                         Very truly yours,

                                                             July 10, 1996
                                                        New York, New York


                FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, GULF EXPLORATION
           CONSULTANTS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"),
           HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of OSPREY INVESTMENTS, INC.
           (the "Lender"), at its principal office located at One
           Independent Drive, Suite 2201, Jacksonville, Florida  32202 in
           immediately available funds, the principal amount of Ten
           Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) (the "Base Amount")
           plus the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made
           to the Borrower by the Lender ("Advances") outstanding on July
           1, 1997 (the "Maturity Date") when all amounts due hereunder
           shall be due and payable, together with interest at a rate of
           7% per annum on the principal amount as outstanding from time
           to time.

                This Note is the Note referred to in, and is entitled to
           the benefits of, the Letter Agreement, dated July 10, 1996,
           between the Borrower and the Lender (as same may be amended,
           modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Letter
           Agreement").  The loan of the Base Amount and all Advances made
           pursuant to the Letter Agreement and evidenced by this Note are
           subject to identical terms and conditions as set forth in this
           Note and the Letter Agreement.  In the event of any conflict
           between this Note and the Letter Agreement, the provisions of
           this Note shall govern.

                The Borrower shall prepay all amounts evidenced by this
           Note immediately upon the closing of an acquisition by any
           person through a business combination or otherwise of a
           controlling interest in the Borrower.

                The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to endorse on
           the Schedule annexed to this Note all Advances hereafter made
           to the Borrower and all payments of principal amounts in
           respect of such Advances or in respect of the Base Amount,
           which endorsements shall, in the absence of manifest error, be
           conclusive as to the outstanding principal amount of all
           Advances and as to the outstanding principal amount of the Base
           Amount; provided, however, that the failure to make such notation
                   -----------------
           with respect to any Advances or payment shall not limit or 
           otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under the Letter 
           Agreement or this Note.

                The existence of any of the following conditions shall
           constitute an event of default ("Event of Default"):

                (a)  if the Borrower shall default in the due and punctual
           payment of the principal or interest of this Note when and as
           the same shall become due and payable, whether at the maturity
           thereof, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise,
           and such default shall have continued for a period of five (5)
           days;

                (b)  if the Borrower shall (i) file a petition in
           bankruptcy or a petition to take advantage of any insolvency
           act; (ii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
           (iii) consent to the appointment of a receiver of itself or of
           the whole or any substantial part of its property; (iv) on a
           petition in bankruptcy filed against it, be adjudicated a
           bankrupt; or (iv) file a petition or answer seeking
           reorganization or arrangement under the Federal bankruptcy laws
           or any other applicable law or statute of the United States or
           any other jurisdiction thereof; or 

                (c)  if a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an
           order, judgment or decree appointing, without the consent of
           the Borrower, a receiver of the Borrower or of the whole or
           substantial part of its property, or approving a petition
           against the Borrower seeking reorganization or arrangement of
           the Borrower under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any other
           applicable law or statute of the United States of America or
           any State or jurisdiction thereof, and such order, judgment or
           decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within sixty
           (60) days from the date of the entry thereof.

                If an Event of Default occurs, then, whether or not the
           same is continuing and unless the same shall have been waived
           by the Lender, the Lender may, at any time, at its election,
           and by notice to Borrower, declare this Note, immediately
           payable, and thereupon this Note shall become immediately
           payable, and, at any time thereafter, the Lender may proceed to
           collect the principal of and interest on this Note then due,
           together with the costs and expenses (including reasonable
           attorneys' fees) incurred by the Lender in connection with a
           default under, or enforcement of any provision of, this Note. 
           In addition to the rights and remedies provided above, all
           other rights and remedies provided by law shall be available to
           the Lender, and all rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  A
           delay by the Lender in exercising any right or remedy shall not
           constitute a waiver hereof.  A waiver of a default, right or
           remedy shall not constitute a waiver of another default, right
           or remedy, and a single or partial exercise of a right or
           remedy shall not preclude a further exercise thereof or an
           exercise of another right or remedy.  

                Any notice to be given hereunder shall be in writing and
           sent to the Lender at the address as set forth at the head of
           this Note and to the Borrower at 10 Rockefeller Plaza, Suite
           1012, New York, New York 10020, or to such other address as
           either party may hereafter duly give to the other.

                If any payment is to be made on a day other than a
           business day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the
           next succeeding business day, and interest shall be payable
           thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension.
           This Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of
           New York.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has duly executed this
           Note.
