Whats the lowes lvl DO you ever got ??

So what is the minimum lvl DO that we can possibly get ?

Level 1.

I seem to recall seeing level 11 DOs at least.

I think the lowest I have seen is a L8 DO. You get it by doing a safeguard/mayhem mission at L5 and getting the burgle the jewelry shop/stop the burglary side mission. If you successfully complete the main objective (burgle the shop for a villain, free all the hostages for a hero) you will get a random DO at your level +3. The hero side version is sometimes bugged though - I have done the side mission hero side several times and failed to get the drop but villain side it always work if you get into the safe and get both the glowies.

Now, the DO drop itself is random and more often than not is pretty useless, although it will be one that matches your origin. The side missions you get tend to be randomly selected and most folks don't do bank/safeguard that early, so it is not commonly known.

I also believe that L12+ enemies have a chance of dropping DO's, since this is the earliest level you can slot them. If they do drop them the DO will be the level of the enemy, so you can get other DO's that are lower then L15 but it is even more random and the DO will match the enemy type, not your origin. I don't know exactly when enemies start dropping DO's but I know I have seen them on mobs that where lower than L15.

I got a level 9 stun DO (I forget which origins) as a drop a month or so ago.

I've seen DOs down to level 5, and SOs down to level 10. Not particularly common occurrance tho. I'm sure there's SOs lower than 10 but not taken a sub 10 to faultline to fight the AVs there yet.

I have a level 1 SO sitting in the tray of one of my chars. She was brought along to an AV fight because she had Sonic Siphon, which is a fairly hefty resistance debuff. She spammed that and her one puny attack the whole fight, and was rewarded with a shiny level 1 SO.

DOs, I have no idea. I don't pay attention to DOs. I don't even buy DOs anymore. (Or TOs, for that matter, but I never bought TOs so that doesn't count as much.)

I got a lvl 10 Stun (magic/mutation) DO this evening by doing the Skyway bank mish on my lvl 12 corruptor, so EricHough could be on to something here.

At the beginning of the mayhem/protect missions, you could get a DO from robbing/defending the shop.
Starting at level 5 for the Atlas park one.
IIRC, the DO was your own level.

I've gotten them pretty low from weird sources, like mentioned above. As far as just beatin' guys up, see Paragon Wiki.
